Directed by Baz Luhrmann as the third and final part of the Red Curtain trilogy (Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet), Moulin Rouge! follows the ill-fated love affair of Satine, a glamorous showgirl (Kidman) and Christian, a struggling writer (McGregor).

If you're a Romeo + Juliet fan, you'll love this - it has the same energetic, exuberant style that Luhrmann has become renowned for. It's non-stop action all the way, with a fabulous soundtrack to accompany the frenetic cinematography.

Set in 1900 Paris, Satine mistakenly falls for Christian, believing him to be the duke, a wealthy man about to invest in the Moulin Rouge and transform it into a reputable theatre.

Ewan may warble that all you need is love but the obsessed duke demands exclusive rights to the leggy courtesan as well as the theatre while, just to add to our doomed lovers' tragedy, the luscious Satine is revealed to be dying of consumption.

With a mix of romance, tragedy and big musical numbers that Busby Berkeley would have been proud of, Kidman and McGregor set the screen on fire.

Prepare to be astounded by the actors' previously unknown abilities to both sing AND dance. Special mention should be given to the fantastically choreographed Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend and inspired rendition of Sting's Roxanne.

Moulin Rouge! can only be described is a visual spectacle that shouldn't be missed... Watch this spectacular spectacular while you can can.
