Talk about a modern musical!

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2001)

Congrats are due to Baz Luhrman for succeeding in creating a truly modern musical. I was not sure what to expect going into this film, with so many reviews being very harsh of the fact that modern songs were used in a film that is set in 1899. Yet, that is precisely what makes the film a "modern" version of the classic musical. I can't wait to see it again!
