Synopsis:
Christian (Ewan McGregor), a young poet with great artistic talent, leaves his home for Paris when he can't stand his father's mediocrity and settles in Montmartre, a bohemian neighborhood in the lower social classes. Soon Christian befriends Toulouse Lautrec (John Leguizamo), an absinthe-drinking artist whose circle centers on the Moulin Rouge nightclub, a world of sex, drugs, frenzy, and crazy cancan dancing. It is here that Christian falls madly in love with the star of the Moulin Rouge, Sartine (Nicole Kidman), a "sparkling diamond" and the most beautiful prostitute in the Moulin Rouge and in Paris. Christian falls in love with a woman who is destined to end up in a bad way.
Twentieth Century Fox's recently released Moulin Rouge, a cabaret film from acclaimed Australian director Baz Luhrmann, tells the story of the decadent life of a 19th-century Parisian nightclub. Popular Hollywood movie stars Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor play the leading roles in the movie. Moulin Rouge was filmed in an actual Moulin Rouge built by the production. Ruhleman's latest masterpiece, which is both a song and a dance, is a profound reflection of the joyful and charming mood of the lower class people at the end of the 19th century. The Moulin Rouge in Paris was a glamorous meeting place for both the upper and lower classes. The "Moulin Rouge" connected the poor and the famous with the workers, the artists, the bourgeois, the actresses (or prostitutes).
"Moulin Rouge" is Baz Luhrmann's third feature film and follows his debut feature "STRICTLY BALLROOM" and the 1996 20th Century Fox box-office hit "ROMIO AND JULIET: POST-MODERN PASSION" ("SHAKESPEARE'S"). "SHAKESPEARE'S Romeo +Juliet") followed. This tragicomedy musical is a vivid testament to the extravagant nightlife for which Paris was known in the late 19th century, vividly depicting love, death and rebirth, new skills, and ballroom dancing of the time.
