Moulin Rouge: A Fanatic Extravaganza

Rating: 7/10 (26 August 2019)

This is almost a musical acted out in the form of cinema. The frenzy can be vividly felt right from the start. The language, expression and body movement of characters are so hyperbolic that it immediately reminds you of stage performance. For a cinephile like me who has not been visiting theaters that frequently, the film seems to have overcooked a bit, rendering it similar to a stage show during the interval of a high school prom.
