Dazzling, Stunning, Astoundingly Good, Spot The Songs, Spectacular, Unforgettable, Damn Good, Stone The Crows, Brilliant...... These are some of the things I came out with to describe, and to use as a title for my opinion of Moulin Rouge, though I read a couple of opinions about the film, I just wasn?t expecting what I saw, but as you may guess I found it to be superb. ~~The Facts~~ In this musical/comedy/tragedy, set in and around the Moulin Rouge night club in the 1900?s, Christian tells his story about coming to Paris, to the bohemian lifestyle, to become a writer and write about love that he?s never experienced.
