MOULIN ROUGE
By Jen Joules October 2001
You may not have thought that the two leading actors in this film would have been able to pull off a musical but with the help of Baz Luhrman (director) this was well achieved. Ewan McGregor plays a Bohemian poet in this tragic love story while Nicole Kidman plays the highest paid Courtesan in a Parisian Nightclub.

This film was difficult to get into at the beginning as it had a very different style to any film that I had seen before, but after about 20 or so minutes the film really starts to become alive in front of your eyes. Moulin Rouge at times reminded me of a pantomime with the costumes, elaborate make up and a "baddie" that you want to 'boo' and 'hiss' at. The main thing that stood out for me in this film was the use of colour whether it be in the make up, the costume design or the set design it really was quite breath taking at times. Basically what I saw in this film was good cinema and I would recommend it to anyone. Go see it...
