Pompa, fény, szabadság, szerelem: a Moulin Rouge a századforduló Párizsának fényözönéből is kiragyogott. E mulatóban gyűltek össze mindazok, akiknek még több szabadságra, még több vadságra és főleg még több vágyra volt szükségük. Ebbe a különös, elvarázsolt világba csöppen bele az ifjú költő, Christian (Ewan McGregor). A bűnös öröm útjain egy törpe növésű zseni, Toulouse Lautrec (John Leguizamo) vezeti őt. De Christian valaki más miatt válik rabjává e világnak: őt Satine-nek (Nicole Kidman) hívják, ő a mulató csillaga és a város imádott prostituáltja. Minden férfi érte rajong. Satine és Christian szerelme valószínűtlen és lehetetlen kitérő csupán az örök mulatság városában. Szerelmük és kalandjaik látványos története beleolvad a zene és tánc állandó kavargásába, a hóbortok és perverziók, a nyílt és titkolt vágyak körtáncába. A Rómeó + Júlia rendezője még előző filmjénél is látványosabb, különösebb filmet készített, melyet nemcsak a világhírű szereplők, Ewan McGregor és Nicole Kidman tesz felejthetetlenné, hanem az elmúlt évtizedek legnagyobb slágereiből álló zene is.

The first half hour or so of the movie is perhaps the biggest mixture of bizarreness and gaudiness in the history of film. Although I generally don't mind kitsch in movies, here it was a bit too much for my taste. The only saving grace of the movie are its two leads, McGregor and Kidman, and great songs. Otherwise it’s disappointing, perhaps also because I was expecting a lot more.

Luhrmann's attempt to be original at all costs is perhaps a little too obvious, but nevertheless Moulin Rouge is a riveting, visually and musically impressive film. Nicole Kidman has never looked better and Ewan McGregor has a beautiful voice.

In the first fifteen minutes or so I was already saying that it is unbearably over-styled, tasteless, bullshit… and wasn’t far from turning it off. But then – and I didn’t notice exactly when it happened – I realised how much I was enjoying it. I don’t think I ever had such a total change of opinion while watching a film. I can’t provide a sufficiently reasonable explanation why I’m giving five stars to this piece of kitsch, but I just can’t help it.

Although the makers if this tried to remain on the brink of bearable and laughably bombastic kitsch soft porn, all too often this slips into a stupid, noisy (I don’t think there is one second of silence here or no scenes where someone isn’t jumping around, screaming, whistling etc.) patchwork full of cuts, certainly worthy of an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. However, once in a while it calms down and looks good, and so for instance during the tango or the live scene with Satine and Krystian, all of these criticisms move aside, because at these times Moulin Rouge is simply flawless. A shame that there aren’t more similarly powerful moments in this movie, but on the other hand there aren’t that few of them really.

Sometimes I tell myself that it's hardly possible for there to exist such a precisely balanced border between deafening noise and indescribable beauty. A highly romantic affair, in which a tremendous amount of tension lies hidden, led by my favorite film scene of all time: The hiding of the main couple, ingeniously built up to the perfect Because she doesn't love you! moment. The pinnacle of cinematography and the most emotionally captivating affair. Thank you, Mr. Luhrmann, for the best film I have ever seen.

A film based on quality music and actors and a love story. Full of color, lights, costumes, and enough dancing to leave you cross-eyed. The presentation is truly artistic and the story moving. Although I don't like pure romance, I have to admit that I shed a tear here. Moulin Rouge! is one of a kind.

A musical fairy tale about paying homage to the film century. The experience is, of course, deeper if one consciously perceives all the sources of inspiration. Viewers who only suspect something will only grope on the surface. The film features everything from de Toulouse-Lautrec, Méliès, Violetta, Monroe, Madonna, and Queen. Thank you, absinthe fairy.

You can expect many things from this film, but you’ll get something different. First of all, it’s worth mentioning the beautiful songs and the amazing performances; I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many likeable actors together. The opening part, playing on a very bold and fun note, blew me away, with its unique costumes, sets, choreographies, and then Nirvana's “Smeels Like Teen Spirit” kicks in – just a blast. The rest of the film is also conducted in the most original spirit and is a feast for the eyes and ears, but I didn't like the more romantic, sometimes a bit depressing part so much. It was still an enjoyable show, but the crazy beginning made a stronger impression. 80%

Kitschy, over-stylized, zany, and wildly postmodern — Moulin Rouge! is a rollercoaster you can't help but love. Right from the start, it doesn't let up. The rapid-fire editing takes some getting used to, and the humor might seem dumb at first, but stick with it and keep an open mind, and you'll likely find yourself completely swept up in it, just like I did. The mix of humor, romance, and drama can feel a bit over-the-top and uneven, but it worked for me. Plus, what starts as a comedy transforms into a powerful and intense drama in the second half, solidifying the film's uniqueness. The romantic storyline isn't groundbreaking, but it's executed so well that you forgive the clichés and just enjoy the ride. The musical highlights for me are definitely "Your Song" and "Elephant Love Medley." The chemistry between Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor is perfect and feels completely natural. My only real gripe is that the film's resolution is revealed right from the beginning. While the ending is still strong, it might have hit even harder if we didn't know what was coming. All in all, it's a magical film I'll watch many times over.

I've kept Moulin Rouge in my cupboard of unwatched films for a relatively long time and I'm glad I had the opportunity to see this musical classic on the big screen for the first time, where its qualities stood out all the more. From the very first minutes, we are thrown into a slightly maddening carousel of events interwoven with colourful costumes and sets, amazing singing and dancing sequences, and especially strong and convincing performances of a tragicomic nature. Of the ensemble cast, I was most impressed by Jim Broadbent and Nicole Kidman, who gave unforgettable and supremely plastic creations. I must also praise the plethora of interludes referring to various legendary songs, which surprisingly fit perfectly into the scenes, and the visuals and cinematography referring to different periods or genres of cinema. A film that is a feast for the senses and forms an unmissable gem within its genre.

An absolutely breathtaking spectacle from an editing standpoint, culminating in the incredible "Roxanne" sequence, which is an audiovisual work of art in its own right. For a generally commercial musical with an average shot length of around a second, Luhrmann has my sincere respect, but I guess that's where it ends. Most of the time, the whole concept was a walk through hell – creepy characters, horrible developments, incredibly stupid humor (three penis jokes, hohoho) or horrible plots and subplots built on mistaken identity and allegories. The film exploits each of these endlessly, and even this is not enough, so that after one of the plots is over, the film turns around and repeats it again (Satine and Christian breaking up)! Then, if during the musical numbers you also feel as if you've fallen asleep under a broken jukebox after a bottle of absinthe, with the top 20 most played songs playing over and over again, I welcome you to the therapy of "Moulin Rouge tried to beat me to death." During our first class, your therapy assignment will be to throw the camera through the spinning blades of the mill. We have 30 attempts at this, so you don't have to feel bad about it. The movie sure didn't feel bad about it.

Baz Luhrmann has an amazing ability to turn Moulin Rouge into an unusually intense, emotional, "original", (non-)kitsch spectacle that is just very hard not to succumb to. And I loved the grace with which Moulin Rouge teeters on the edge between total kitsch and riveting emotional spectacle. The choreography, the sets, the costumes, the music, the boldness and inventiveness of the direction, the hauntingly beautiful Nicole Kidman... plainly and simply the prototype of a film that can provide an intense emotional experience from beginning to end. A year earlier, Lars von Trier also made a wannabe musical "his own way", which I coincidentally also gave full marks. The difference is that I was still quite nauseous for a few days after Dancer in the Dark and to this day I have no desire for a second viewing. With this film, I know I will want to watch it again very soon and I definitely won't be nauseous in the "Trier" sense :-)

I think I first saw this film on TV when I was fifteen, and as befits that sentimental age, I properly cried. The next day, I already had the soundtrack on MP3 and I didn't listen to anything else for six months. After almost fifteen years, when I am that much older, I had the opportunity to see Moulin Rouge on the big screen as part of the musical package at SFS 2018. My love for this film is obviously undying, because despite having seen it maybe 50 times, I had more fun than ever. The atmosphere in the auditorium was amazing and it was clear that I was surrounded by like-minded fans. Proof of that was the applause that followed the "Like a Virgin" scene. Another amazing moment was when the naively blinded Duke realizes that Christian and Satine are in love, and many people in the room gasped in horror at that moment, and I thought: there are some lucky people who haven't seen the film yet, and I was a little jealous. I thoroughly enjoyed this colourful, kitsch and pompous ride, devouring every moment, singing every song in my head, tapping my foot to every rhythm, laughing at the crazy scenes and shedding a tear at "Your Song" when in the first seconds of Christian's great singing Satine finally shuts up and the night Paris lights up. What else can I praise? The perfect mix of songs, brilliantly performed? The great performances that are moving but also entertaining? The great choreographies? The costumes and sets? I wish I could still raise the rating because Moulin Rouge is perfect and spectacular in every way and I can't wait to watch it again.
