With Moulin Rouge, director Baz Luhrmann's love child, we see an exuberant burst of visually elegant bombastic storytelling. When I said Chicago was one of the most brilliant stage to screen musicals this is the most brilliant musical on the silver screen. Based off of every romantic cliche and love story in history, using a large variety of contemporary love songs, this film is swept off its feet by the passion of its actors and director into an amazingly sincere and heartbreaking film that has yet to meet its counterpart. As Luhrmann moves into the production of Australia, his next film, I wait in anticipation to this viciously creative directors follow-up film.
