Moulin Rouge

Baz Luhrman

A really astonishing film. Wildly extravagant, rapid-fire cutting, great use of dance, color and spectacle to create a swirling phantasmagoria of salacious make-believe.

Luhrman grew up in the Outback, his parents owned a movie theater...from boyhood he was immersed in the magical world of cinema. This is the film he was destined to make...we people on the pavement get to watch.

A rollicking achievement.
