#9 Moulin Rouge! by Baz Luhrman



France has long embodied every romantic notion of any person who has dared to dream of finding love. In Baz Luhrman's 3rd feature and his conclusion to his Red Curtain trilogy he takes the wild bohemian world of the Moulin Rouge and Montmarte and transforms it into one of the most lavishly produced, gloriously sounding, and heart wrenching tales of love that conquers all things even money, power, class, and death. Satine and Christian's story is one of true emotional triumph and power. It is a movie that has long kept me dreaming and remembering the ultimate good that love can provide in any form. I will love this film come what may.
