Unlike Anything Ever Seen

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2002)

This film has to be one of the most amazing, ambitious and beautiful films ever made. It captures the essence of a Red Curtain Production, and splashes it onto screen in dazzling, jaw-dropping fashion. The actor's talents and hard work is seen easily in this film, and director Baz Luhrmann has proved to be one of the most influential and creative filmmakers of his generation. Someone with so much vision could easily be called a genius, and it is disheartening to see that he was not nominated for "Best Director" by the Academy. If you have not seen this film already in theatres (which you have surely missed out), I cannot recommend it more for rental. The actors, director, everyone involved pulls you into the vivacious and vibrant world that is the Moulin Rouge, and makes the viewer never want to leave it. If the performance aspect is not quite fulfilling to one, the technical views should astonish some, with gutsy editing and the best costume, set and art direction I have seen to date. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
