Still burning in the veins

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2001)

Baz & Co's Moulin Rouge is like oxygen; it lifts us up where we belong! Really, the IMDB ratings and the comments say it all. Moulin Rouge received some mixed reviews in the US, but don't let that stop you seeing this while you can! Anyone picking apart the plot totally misses the point. Anyone "mauled" or "bewildered" by their first experience really just has to see it again. It just gets BETTER AND BETTER. Like so many, I'll never get enough of this film; it feels like the best I've ever seen. Unlike for most films, getting the DVD will be a truly treasured moment, not just a nice way to test out the sound system. Short of heartfelt song, words really don't suffice.
