Moulin Rouge

I mentioned this Baz Luhrmann film in my last post.

This film actually has spoken parts (as does Evita- a single line!), but they so serve the fantasy tale that there is no suspension of disbelief required, as in other musicals.

And yes, Nicole Kidman is nice to look at. I'm not sold on her as a dramatic actress (her best role was the minor role in Eyes Wide Shut- and that role is most notable for her displaying her lovely derriere; but she can actually sing quite well. And Ewan McGregor is very good, as well.
