I saw this in the movies and was stunned, confused, and did not know if I liked it. Well, I love this movie. the 2 DVD set has behind the scenes and the "roxanne tango" selection is amazing. My DVD eventually became so scratched that i could no longer watch it - thank you seller!!!!!

The theme of this musical is "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to LOVE and BE loved in return". It sounds corny, but this movie kept me enthralled from the moment of opening credits. This movie takes place in France (Moulin Rouge) in the early 1900's although they use songs from the "future"; the music was written by the Beatles some 40 or 50 years later, but they are performed with such feeling that you are only drawn deeper into the story. I had NO idea that Nicole nor Ewan could sing, but they prove themselves here. This musical is on the dark side, which must be one reason it leaves you with a haunted feeling. The dirty scoundral who does all put tie Nicole's character to the train tracks, is outdone by Ewan McGregor's character, who rescues the damsel in distress with song and heart. I thouroughly enjoyed this movie, the only fault being that it was not long enough. I have watched this movie at least six times, and I will be watching it many more times to come.Read full review
I came away from watching this movie with mixed feelings, wondering if an earlier version would have been better. The repeated use of old pop/rock songs by the Beatles and others is used at an attempt to mimic poetry and the begining of the movie looking like something from the Wizard of Oz. These actually detracted from a predictable but very deep story line. If you look a bit deeper the story of the main characters is very good and quite moving. The ending is given away within the first few minutes of the movie. The villian is typical but not without relevance in today's society. Anyone who knows someone who has been wronged or abused will find the storyline to be quite somber and personal.
Great movie. Sad, sweet, l laughed, l cried….
