Editorial Review:
Description:
A spectacle beyond anything you've ever witnessed. An experience beyond everything you've ever imagined. Behind the red velvet curtain, the ultimate seduction of your senses is about to begin. Welcome to the Moulin Rouge! Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor sing, dance and scale the heights of passionate abandon in the year's most talked-about movie from visionary director Baz Luhrmann (William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, Strictly Ballroom). Enter a tantalizing world that celebrates truth, beauty, freedom and above all things, love.
Amazon.com essential video:
A dazzling and yet frequently maddening bid to bring the movie musical kicking and screaming into the 21st century, Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge bears no relation to the many previous films set in the famous Parisian nightclub. This may appear to be Paris in the 1890s, with can-can dancers, bohemian denizens like Toulouse-Lautrec (John Leguizamo), and ribaldry at every turn, but it's really Luhrmann's pop-cultural wonderland. Everyone and everything is encouraged to shatter boundaries of time and texture, colliding and careening in a fast-cutting frenzy that thinks nothing of casting Elton John's "Your Song" 80 years before its time. Nothing is original in this kaleidoscopic, absinthe-inspired love tragedy--the words, the music, it's all been heard before. But when filtered through Luhrmann's love for pop songs and timeless showmanship, you're reminded of the cinema's power to renew itself while paying homage to its past.
Luhrmann's overall success with his third "red-curtain" extravaganza (following Strictly Ballroom and William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet) is wildly debatable: the scenario is simple to the point of silliness, and how can you appreciate choreography when it's been diced into hash by attention-deficit editing? Still, there's something genuine brewing between costars Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman (as, respectively, a poor writer and his unobtainable object of desire), and their vocal talents are impressive enough to match Luhrmann's orgy of extraordinary sets, costumes, and digital wizardry. The movie's novelty may wear thin, along with its shallow indulgence of a marketable soundtrack, but Luhrmann's inventiveness yields moments that border on ecstasy, when sound and vision point the way to a moribund genre's joyously welcomed revival. --Jeff Shannon

After reading so many of the other reviews, I resign myself to the fact of varied tastes make one man's trash another's treasure. I picked up a copy and watched it with a friend. While I am a fan of some obscure Euro flicks that most of my friends cannot understand or enjoy, I just could not get into this movie...The "kaleidoscope" of people and colours is well enough, the general storyline isn't bad, and the main actors are people I like and make a point of watch filmes they're in. However, all ... Read More

Baz Lurhmann has taken another classic tale and spun a twist into the mix of a self-standing complicated story. Although I didn't particularly care for "Romeo + Juliet", I loved "Moulin Rouge!" The classic story is a tale of a well-bred and educated young Englishman, Christian, who is swept up in the Bohemian revolution of the 19th century. He travels to France, against his father's, wishes to become a truly revolutionary Bohemian writer. He becomes swept up in a life of women, drink and drama. ... Read More

Moulin Rouge is a movie that you really can't "sort of like." Either you do, or you don't. Warning: it can be taken to come off as a little corny, but as long as you can get past that...the movie is FABULOUS! The songs are "on point," the acting is commendable, and the story...wow, well you'll just have to see the movie for yourself!

If you are looking for a movie filled with fun, romance and music, this is the movie for you! Although set in 1899 France, the story takes on a very modern feel with songs that everyone knows and loves. It will have you laughing, crying, singing and falling in love over and over again.

I bought this DVD at the urging of a trusted reviewer. While I was entranced by the imaginative cuts and effects during the beginning credits, my companion and I were immediately turned off by the extreme over-acting. Yes, I've been cautioned that this technique was used to satisfy the intended theatrical effect. However, in my opinion, the desired effect was dreadful, distracting, and irritating. Only the first 10 minutes of my DVD was ever touched by a laser. Unless you're a masochist, save your ... Read More
