Moulin Rouge

This story is about Truth, Beauty, Freedom... but above all... Love. Idealistic Christian (Ewan McGregor) is drawn into the dark, fantastical underworld of the Parisian nightclub, the Moulin Rouge. In this seedy but glamorous haven of sex, drugs and electricity, the poet-innocent finds himself plunged into a passionate but ultimately tragic love affair with the club's highest paid star and the city's most famous courtesan, Satin (Nicole Kidman). Directed by internationally renowned Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, Moulin Rouge is a euphorically high-style vision of a glamorous 19th century underworld captured for contemporary audiences.
