Movie description:
Director Baz Luhrmann (Romeo and Juliet, Elvis) created this fever-dream of a movie which inspired the stage musical recently playing Denver. A celebration of love and creative inspiration takes place in the infamous, gaudy and glamorous Parisian nightclub, at the cusp of the 20th century. A young poet (Ewan McGregor), who is plunged into the heady world of Moulin Rouge, begins a passionate affair with the club's most notorious and beautiful star (Nicole Kidman). “Reconfigures bigscreen musicals with more daring, inventiveness and conviction than any movie since The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.” - Detroit News. “The film dances; the heart sings.” - Time Magazine. “A wonerful postmodern hug of a movie.” – Washington Post. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor did their own singing. A visually stunning movie best seen on the Big Screen. USA 2001. Out at 9:50. PG-13
