Moulin Rouge! (DVD) Reviews

Moulin Rouge is a classic love story, given the Spectacular Spectacular treatment by visionary director Baz Luhrmann. It is a musical of such magnificent proportions, of such colour and such exuberance that I fell in love with it when I first saw it at the cinema, and which I had to buy for my DVD collection when I found it on BOGOF at HMV ...

mediocre, surreal - Advantages: music, actors, scenery - Disadvantages: surreal, limited appeal, thin plot

On objecting to this I was told I take films too seriously and lack imagination- qualities sadly not evident enough regarding the former in this film, while the latter is represented by a morass of post-modern reference. One for film students to write tedious essays on. What do I loathe about this film? Well, how about the fact that it is ...

this is one funky, weird movie :) i watched it with mam and my m8z. i cried, i was the only one who cried . lol. anyway i watched it quite a while ago so excuse me if some of my facts are wrong.i liked the ending, on the stage, thats the part i cried at, and i also liked the part wher there in the tower thing and not sure if they love each other. ...

Watching Baz Luhrmann's award-winning Moulin Rouge is a lot like falling in love. It is total immersion cinema and while you're experiencing it ("watching" is too passive a word) you can't imagine that cinema could be for anything else. In the harsh, objective post-viewing daylight Lurhmann's gaudy spectacular might seem ...

I don't think I was swept along by the hype. I wasn't on the sherbet before going into the cinema. I'm not a Baz-oholic. Luhrman's version of 'Romeo And Juliet' left me less than content and I've never seen 'Strictly Ballroom'. Yet I was thoroughly enthralled, entertained and mesmerised by this audacious ...

Do the Can Can Can I wish I could and after watching this film I nearly did. I love Baz Luhrmann's work, Strictly Ballroom and Romeo and Juliet are two of my favourite films. Actually I can't quite remember why I didn't see this film in the cinema, probably couldn't get anyone to go with me (everyone 1 2 3 awe ...

A tale of passion, debauchery, jealousy, hate and beauty set amidst the wonderful surroundings of Montmartre. Heavily based on the painting research of Toulouse Lautrec around this time, Moulin Rouge is a spectacular snapshot of the indulgent lives of Paris's true bohemians. The tale is a love story - nothing new there and is not the strength ...

Yet another spectacular spectacular classic from Baz Luhrmann. I absolutely adore this film!! it has everything. I think that Baz's ideas to portray the characters feelings through song is absolute genius. I was very impressed that every single note from Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidmans mouths was their own. I think that they were both ...

First of all I'd like to say I'm pretty much open-minded, I like to watch any kind of movies, from any country. And in my opinion, a 'bad' movie can be fun to watch, as long as it doesn't get boring (yes, I'm a good audience). When I got in the theater to watch 'Moulin Rouge', I didn't really have a clue ...

Let's get one thing out of the way, I don't like musicals. Nothing makes me seize the remote faster to kill the experience. Hence it was with more than a little trepidation that I introduced the Moulin Rouge dvd to my beloved player, and tentatively reached to turn my home cinema audio set up a notch or two. What was I doing? The ...

I wasn't at all sure whether or not I wanted to see this DVD, my mum hated it and usually we have similar taste, snippets I had seen and that awful Lady Marmalade video, all put me off it but as it was getting huge acclaim I should at least see what all the fuss was about. I was very pleasantly surprised and it is now one of my ...

As you sit down to watch this movie you begin to wonder what you have let yourself in for. From the trailers you expect a 'Fosse' style musical but as you begin to move through you realise that you cannot define what you are watching. Moulin Rouge is surprising to say the least; it takes risks that immediately open it up to ...

Do you want to see Kylie Minogue dressed as a green fairy, singing The Sound Of Music? Or to watch Nicole Kidman taking longer to die than Tim Roth’s Mr. Orange does in Reservoir Dogs? Or to watch ‘a play within a play’ as in Hamlet? Or to see a singing moon and Toulouse Lautrec? Still not convinced? ...

Moulin Rouge: Director Baz Lurham. Past Films: Romeo and Juliet. I approached with this film long before it was released in the UK. My friends had been raving about it in the states and I just had to see it. I saw it in Singapore before it was released in the UK and boy was I amazed! Its one of the greatest creations of Baz I feel. Its ...

... is just to love and be loved in return. It is with this line taken from a famous pop song that the stage is set. Moulin Rouge is a love story, a bitter-sweet love story, but it is so much more than that. It is extravagant, it is musical, it is colourful and vibrant. Moulin Rouge is a feast for the eyes and the ears! Set in ...

2001 was definitely Nicole Kidman's year. After splitting from husband Tom Cruise, she went on to reaffirm that she was a star in her own right when she made her spectacular musical debut in the Oscar winning film Moulin Rouge and released the Christmas hit single "Somethin' Stupid" with Robbie Williams. In case you ...

Moulin Rouge was a film that I really had no interest whatsoever in watching. This wasn’t because I had heard bad things about it, I knew that it had good reviews and a lot of people had been telling me to watch it, it was because I do not like musicals. Musicals remind me off things like The Sound of Music and Fame. Don’t get me ...

When this film first hit our cinemas, I was so eager to watch it. It seemed to be everything I looked for in a film. A sort of American romance, meets “The sound of music”, just what was needed with not a great deal of breath taking movies on the scene. However a friend of mine went to see this film just day’s before I had ...
