It has taken me over a year to see Moulin Rouge since it has been released. I am sorry it has taken so long. This movie was marvelous. Well done to all involved, from the writer/director Baz Luhrmann and co-writer Craig Pearce, through to the stars, Nicole Kidman and Ewan MacGregor and the rest of the cast. From start to finish this musical was rich and vibrant and showed a fresh approach to a musical presentation. I was unsure how I would react to the heavy use of colour and frequent close ups, but they brought me into the action. There has been some criticism of Nicole and Ewan's singing. I thought they did a great job. Jim Broadbent and Richard Roxburgh were well cast and represented their roles very well. All round this was a 10 in my book.
