Wow! This film gets better every time I see it. I think women will like this movie more than men. You certainly have to appreciate music to really enjoy this film. I for one was amazed when I realized both Nicole Kidman and Ewan MacGregor sang their own songs. Much to my surprise, they EXCELLED at it! Kidman sizzles as Satine! MacGregor additionally is a Huge talent(ha ha) and shouldn't be overlooked. His voice dazzles me. I love Ewan's character Christian and his "anything is possible with love" approach! Nicole does a marvelous job with transforming Satine from a call girl to a woman in love after Christian sings "Your Song" to her. Her entire demeanor changes after this and from that point on I am hooked! This scene is very funny as she tries to hide Christian from The Duke. Baz Luhrmann does a fantastic job with this movie! This movie will make you laugh and cry. I recommend watching this movie more than once as I notice something new every time. I have to tell you that this is one of the most entertaining movies that I have seen in awhile. Enjoy!
