Commentary
This film is an incredible originality! It is not a remake, comparing with other musicals. The director here recycles a wide range of existing songs for years 1940 to 2000 and re-orchestrated reinterpreted. The film is a gap grows total breaststroke inspirations, eras, styles and rhythms to produce an exuberant treatment of its themes and especially a romantic tribute to the show. This is a great movie with Nicole Kidman incredibly beautiful.

It's pretty funny to me that I had never seen this film until today! I do not know why I missed so far! Anyway, I just catch the shot and I do not regret of watching it, because it is a very good movie, very entertaining ...

But I can not go up 3 / 5 ... Strangely, I had to zap a few times, change my mind before coming back on this film ... I found some scenes rather long and annoying ... I can not find really no other words, it's true that when you see inside the Moulin Rouge for the first time, it is rather annoying ... It's too fast, too colorful, too Bouquer, we do not understand ... It's a real mess (but not organized as a brothel known to do so well Cédric Klapisch), no, here is a nasty mess, I can not explain what I really mean, I hope you understand all the same!

Apart from that, the film is vibrant, lively and quite nice, even if the story is the most classic and most mundane ... I did not find Nicole Kidman in this extraordinary film, but it was well defended here ... I was especially impressed with Ewan McGregor, his role he really stuck to the skin, it went very well, very good performance from him, I only saw him for the last 2:06 as the movie!

In short, good entertainment to watch to see new things!
