Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2001)

As someone who is not a fan of the movie musical and having paid no attention to the film during it's making, I was skeptical about seeing it at all. I gave in and last Sunday I went to see it thinking "what's the worst it could be? - after all, I lived through Evita".
Moulin Rouge turned out be be more than I could ever have imagined. It is beautiful, truthful, entertaining, moving, funny, sad, and ultimately very fulfilling. I just came back from seeing it for the second time and will likely see it many more times before it leaves the theaters (I want everyone I know to see it, so I'm taking them to see it).
Go. See it.
