Synopsis
Love can be the most powerful force in the world, even when it's destined to break your heart. Baz Luhrmann's "Moulin Rouge!," the final chapter of his "Red Curtain" trilogy, is a musical unlike any other, winner of three Golden Globes, including Best Musical or Comedy, and two Oscars, for art direction and costume design, along with a Best Picture nomination. Set in 1899 Paris, it dives into the dazzling, decadent world of Montmartre's famous nightclub, where Christian (Ewan McGregor), a penniless young English poet, falls in with a troupe of bohemian artists led by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (John Leguizamo), who recruit him to write a lavish new show. Through a case of mistaken identity, he meets and falls for Satine (Nicole Kidman), the club's star singer and courtesan, who's secretly ill and has been promised by the club's scheming owner (Jim Broadbent) to a jealous, wealthy duke (Richard Roxburgh) whose money could save the club. The stars share genuine chemistry, and their impressive singing voices hold their own against Luhrmann's extravaganza of spectacular sets, costumes and digital wizardry, all woven around a kaleidoscope of modern pop songs, from Elton John's "Your Song" to a fiery tango set to the Police's "Roxanne," along with the original ballad "Come What May." At its best, Luhrmann's invention creates moments of near ecstasy, as sound and image help revive a nearly forgotten genre.
