I was very impressed with this movie when it was released! I wasn't exactly sure what to expect and being that at the time there was an onslaught of musical movies coming to the big screen at this time I really didn't know what to make of it all. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman made an incredible pair, they both had their big moments through out the film. Moulin Rouge' is a truly modern musical; Luhrman has taken hold of an old & cliched genre, injected it knowingly with 21st Century irony, imbued it with great energy, imagination & talent; & has produced a post-modern masterpiece, one of the most audacious & original films seen in a very long time - & one for which he deserves every success.All in all, I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys musicals.
