I just love musicals and always have done! This was a real eye opener for me as it takes a classic,l highly unoriginal idea of the poor writer falling for the ambitious actress only to be rebuffed, one over and then TRAGEDY strikes. However, in Moulin Rouge, the director, who previously made Romeo and Juliet and recently presented Australia, presents it all in a state of the art way and has you foot tapping until the end

The sheer ambition of the presentation blows your breath away and the quirky use of pop classics is great fun. The main actors sing amazingly well and it was the film that definitetly showed that Nicole Kidman was a force to be reckoned with!!!!!

The set design, costumes, choreograophy, acting are all superb and even the ingenious use of Australian icons (try and spot Kylie Monogue) in early 19th century Paris is cheeky but works.

A great film to see with friends or as a back drop to a themed party.
