Moulin Rouge

'The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return.'

Call it what you will: post-modern musical, bohemian pastiche, new age technoclassic, whatever. This movie is sure to knock you out of your stupor and make you...yes! fall in love again. With astonishing performances from Nicole "She Can Really Sing" Kidman (As the Sparkling Diamond Nadine) and Ewan "The Singing Obi Wan Kenobi" McGregor (As the Penniless Poet Christian), the Moulin Rouge has enough grit and glam to make you laugh and love and cry.

Wonderful remakes of Material Girl, Your Song, Lady Marmalade, Come What May and other songs plus artsy-fartsy turn-of-the-century special effects make this film something to dye to your hair for.

Voted in 2001 as the Best Hollywood Movie of the Year and earning for Kidman an acting trophy denied by the Oscars and for McGregor the same plum (and snobbery from the Academy Awards.)

Directed by: Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom, 1992 and Romeo+Juliet, 1996).
