Paris- Moulin Rouge..

In Paris in 1900, the young English writer Christian (E. McGregor)

remembers with sadness the period from a year ago. Then, despite his father's opposition, he arrived in the City of Light, wanting to get to know the bohemian life of the writer in Montmartre.

Renting a dilapidated room right across from the famous Molen Rouge club, Kristian was surprised one evening when a noisy Argentine (J. Koman) burst into the room through the ceiling. He was soon knocked on the door by the painter Toulouse-Lautrec (J. Leguizamo), who explained to Christian that the Argentine was suffering from narcolepsy, and that they were actors and entertainers at the Moulin Rouge.

Learning that Christian is a writer and poet, Toulouse-Lautrec realized that he was a gifted and romantic artist, who could help them set up a new lavish production called Spectacular Spectacular. Accepting the creation of a new piece, Christian had no idea that hanging out with eccentric entertainers would change his life forever. When, during the performance of a play, he sees the enchanting courtesan Satine (N. Kidman), the biggest star of Moulin Rouge, on stage, Christian falls in love with her at first sight. That same evening, after Satine accidentally replaces him with the rich patron Duke (R. Roxburg), Christian meets a romantic girl, who is immediately attracted to the emotional and good-natured writer. However, Satine also likes the jealous and possessive Duke, whom the sympathetic Harold Zidler (J. Brtoadbent), impressed by Moulin Rouge, certainly wants to win over the patron of the new play, believing that with his help he will turn Moulin Rouge into a real theater. Over the next few weeks, Satine and Christian will skillfully use the rehearsals for the lavish production to meet each other, sometimes in front of the Duke himself. However, their happiness will not last long, because Satine does not know that she suffers from tuberculosis ... It is an amazingly imaginative, thoughtfully kitschy, clever and fun combination of melodrama, musicals and an endless number of witty and witty references to Andy Warhol and Eric Satie, an inventive pastiche in which cancan blends harmoniously with Nirvana's hits, the sounds of Marilyn Monroe's Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

alternate with hits by Queen, Elton John, Sting and the Beatles, Madonna's Material Girl gets an unexpectedly fresh and fun treatment, and Sting's Roxanne it turns into tango. At the same time, the actors sing all the songs unexpectedly solidly, and the experience gained with this film by the beautiful Nikola Kidman (Dangerous Sea, Days of Thunder, Billy Bathgate, Distant Horizons, Malice, Woman Dying, Batman Forever, Portrait of a Lady, Peacemaker, Magic, Eyes widely closed, Intruders, Dogville, Studengora, Stepford Wives, Translator), Oscar winner for starring Virginia Woolf in Stephen Daldry's intriguing drama "Hours", which was also nominated for an Oscar for her role in this film, prompted filming shortly after the premiere hit-duet Something Stupid with Robbie Williams.
