Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor both have incredible voices (especially McGregor), the story is exhilerating, the costumes are breath-taking, the sets are lavish and spectacular, and the musical numbers will stick in you head for a long time to come. And those aren't even the best parts of the movie.
I was initially very leary about Moulin Rouge, but about 45 minutes in I realized I was absolutely in love with the movie.
Nicole Kidman is absolutely radiant on screen - and shows a wide range of acting ability. Although I've had a thing for her since seeing Far And Away, Moulin Rouge takes it to another level. Nicole Kidman is absolutely beautiful (pity Tom Cruise for letting her get away).
The Elephant Love Medly and Like A Virgin musical numbers are nothing short of fantastic.
I don't think I'm going out on a limb to say Moulin Rouge will receive Academy Award Nominations for Art Direction and Costumes. Possibly for make-up and original song as well (Come What May or I'll Fly Away).
I just hope the DVD is a director's cut with even more scenes - or at least a lot of behind the scenes stuff.
