The year is 1899, and Christian, a young English writer, has come to Paris to follow the Bohemian revolution taking hold of the city's drug and prostitute infested underworld. And nowhere is the thrill of the underworld more alive than at the Moulin Rouge, a night club where the rich and poor men alike come to be entertained by the dancers, but things take a wicked turn for Christian as he starts a deadly love affair with the star courtesan of the club, Satine. But her affections are also coveted by the club's patron: the Duke. A dangerous love triangle ensues as Satine and Christian attempt to fight all odds to stay together but a force that not even love can conquer is taking its toll on Satine...
Matt and I watched this movie last night. It is a good movie with a fantastic soundtrack. It is set at the exact time our book "The Night Circus" is set so it gives you a really great idea of how people dressed and the coloring and look of the movie is something like I imagine the book. However, this movie is so fast paced and visual that it is not a good idea to watch if you have a headache. Makes it worse. It does go along well with our circus theme though even if it is set in a nightclub instead of a carnival. It has sad clowns and performers and Nicole Kidman is wonderful in it and so is Ewan McGreggor.
Its rated PG-13 in case you were wondering:)
PS......I loved the Underwood Typewriter Christian used and Satine's clothes are to die for and she is beyond gorgeous!
bye...
more later....
