I watched this film for the first time in ages the other day and had forgot how much I loved it. Moulin Rouge was originally released in 2001 so has been around quite a while now. It is directed and written by Baz Luhrmann , who has also directed films including Romeo and Juliet and Australia. The story of Moulin Rouge is based in ...  Read the complete review

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is how to love and be loved in return" This film is another notch on Baz Luhrmann's extensive movie bedpost... and it is one of his best. His take on classic songs by Bowie, Madonna and Nirvana (yes, I did say Nirvana!) fit in perfectly with the storyline, and along with the outstanding ...  Read the complete review

"The Greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return" These are words which have been made legendary by this absolutely outstanding classic. According to me, Moulin Rouge is among the leading romantic dramas of all times! It is exuberant, outrageous, painfully tragic, romantic, musical and so, so colorful! ...  Read the complete review

Having first watched this film five years ago, I came across it in my film collection recently, and decided it was worth watching again. I remembered seriously enjoying the film when I first saw it, purchasing both the DVD and the soundtrack soon afterwards. Watching it again, it wasn't quite as amazing as I first remembered. It's ...  Read the complete review

I would say this is the best Love Story ever since Romeo and Juliet. I have watched this film at least 20 times and know all the lyrics to all the songs. Its just such an emotional film, and yet pure genious at the same time. Christian (Ewan Mcgregor) wants to write a novel about love, his favourite subject. But the only probablem was, ...  Read the complete review

I was rather dubious about this film initially-for some reason I was expecting some over-rated, taking-itself-too-seriously Titanic-esque film, and when I eventually saw it, I was pleasantly surprised. The film manages to combine humour, stunning visuals, dark glamour and a surprisingly varied soundtrack with some great ...  Read the complete review

This will be the first of many film reviews as I am in the process of making a list of, watching and reviewing all the films, TV series etc that I own. I'm not sure why I decided to do this as I am not that good at film reviews! It may take many months but here we go... Moulin Rouge: I am a huge fan of musicals but the other ...  Read the complete review

This film lets Baz Luhrmann get as trashy and kitsch as he wants to be combining the theatre and gauche sensibilities of the Moulin Rouge with a beautiful story of love and loss. Set in turn of the century Paris this is the third part of Luhrmann's "Red Curtain" trilogy, which started with the wonderful Strictly Ballroom and ...  Read the complete review

I recently re-watched this film for the first time in years, having bought it on DVD for £4 in the tesco sale. I really liked it when it came out, back in 2001 and appreciated the gaudy, over the top, vibrant colours that it encapsulated and the tacky glamour of the Moulin Rouge itself. Being a fan of Baz Lurhman's 90s take on Romeo & Juliet I ...  Read the complete review

This film is truly a bohemian revolution. I loved this film the first time I watched it (and Ewan!). It's a musical masterpiece and a quite confusing and exotic experience for the first 10 minutes. Some of the scenes are off this planet but you'll feel like your there, sparkling like a diamond, alongside the stars. This is definitely not ...  Read the complete review

What a movie, when it came out again, it was the movie that reminded me the power of the cinema, what people would have felt when they saw a movie in colour for the first time. To put it bluntly, I fell in love again. The 2001 film, written directed and produced by Baz Luhrmann was a powerhouse and reminded us that musicals ...  Read the complete review

This is one of my FAVORITE movies of all time! It is AMAZING. The storyline is fantastic. The characters are fabulous and the music will make you cry. The imagination that was put into creating this movie is amazing. The cinematography is fantastic. This heartfelt and highly entertaining story is about a pair of star crossed lovers who ...  Read the complete review

I put off seeing Moulin Rouge! for a long time after it was first released. I thought that it was a lot of hype for such an unoriginal concept and lots of hype usually results in disappointment for me. I realised on seeing this that I had not really understood exactly what this film was going to be until I'd seen it though and I most certainly ...  Read the complete review

This is an amazing, modern musical. I normally don't like modern takes on musicals as they don't tend to tick all the boxes that older style musicals do, but this one was different. The tragic lovestory portrayed throughout between Satine and Christian is one which has been told many times. Satine is in love with Christian but is ...  Read the complete review

Moulin Rouge is a fantastic musical extravaganza from the deeps of the mesmerising imagination of director Baz Luhrmann that pulls fantastic show tunes and stunning visionary acts into a heart-warming story of love and loss to make a film that exuberates entertainment and makes the film an experience you won't forget. The year is 1899 ...  Read the complete review

You will either love it or hate it! Synopsis The film is set in Paris in 1899 and is fundamentally a love story between a ...  Read the complete review

I couldnt have even sat through half of it, it must have got to about 20 minutes trough and i was soo incredibly bored i had to turn it off. Luckily for me i didnt purchase it instead i had borrowed it from a friend, so no money was lost, only ...  Read the complete review

I loved this film. i mainly loved the directing, the background, the visual effects and the supporting actors. I really can't stand either Nicole Kidman or Ewan McGregor so the fact I enjoyed the film proves it must have been excellent! It made me want to go and live in Paris! However, loving it so much in the cinema, I wanted to buy ...  Read the complete review
