    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Originally, the green fairy was going to be a long-haired muscle man with a giant sitar and Ozzy Osbourne was hired to provide the vocals. Eventually it was changed to the current "Tinker Bell" incarnation, played by Kylie Minogue, but Osbourne still gives voice to the fairy's guttural scream when it turns evil.
    • Goofs
      Satine goes to great time and effort to be bound into a red dress before her meeting with "the Duke". Why would she then change into the black negligee in which she arrives at the Elephant Room?

    Not for everyone's taste...
    Despite dazzling visuals and lavish production numbers, MOULIN ROUGE is almost all style and no substance. Frankly, I'd rather watch one of the MGM musicals from the '40s and '50s than sit through this more than once.

    Kidman and McGregor are in fine physical form except that neither one has a true singer's voice.

    Much of it is rather frenetic and grotesque, but no one can accuse it of lacking a colorful stylized life of its own. The best performance comes from Roxburgh as The Duke--excellent job.

    It will appeal to fans of Kidman and McGregor but is certainly not the sort of musical suited to everyone's taste.
