Film review - Moulin Rouge
Moulin Rouge
A film I really like is "Moulin Rouge". It's a film made in collaboration between
the USA and Australia. What made me want to see it was the trailer which was very
dark, mystic and also musical. I really like musical films. It was directed by Baz
Luhrmann and stars Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.
The film is set in the beginning of 20 th century in Paris. The main character is a
poor English poet Christian who meets a group of bohemians who tell him that he
should write a musical play for them to be played at the Moulin Rouge. There
Christian meets Satine, the club's star and Paris' most famous courtesan, whom he
falls in love with. After some time Satine falls for him as well.
Things get really complicated when the club's owner invests in a wealthy duke
to help pay for the club's remodelling but the duke will only pay if he gets Satine. That
ends up as a crazy love triangle and the ending is very tragic.
