Christian comes to Paris to become a Bohemian poet but finds himself swept up by some actors to write the musical they want shown at the Moulin Rouge. Christian then finds himself falling in love with the head courtesan, Satine, who someone already has claims on.
Satine is also hiding a deadly secret from everyone so she can make it as a famous actor.
This is one of my favorite movies and I've own it for many years. The only song that is completely original in the whole movie is "Come What May" (even that wasn't written for this movie) most of the other songs are re-works of famous songs so they really pull you in.
This is a slightly odd movie and the first time I saw it it left me thinking, "huh?". It's all over the place and really quirky but after a few more views I fell in love.
It really isn't a movie for everyone, there are some sex scenes (butts are seen), drugs/alcohol and its set in a whore house after all.
I give it 5 out of 5 stars but I might be bias
