“Tremendous, stupendous, gargantuan bedazzlement, a sensual ravishment!” Moulin Rouge as described by Moulin Rouge. The first musical of this podcast. The story of a cabaret courtesan (Nicole Kidman) who falls in love with a penniless play-writer (Ewan McGregor). Is there enough “sensual ravishment” to recommend the film? Do the characters and story only serve to support the music and not vice versa?
