Moulin Rouge is considered the film to put musicals back on the map after a long period of being ignored by many film goers for a long time.
What made Moulin Rouge such a success?
Maybe it was the percieved conservatism that Victorians pretended to up hold?
Maybe it was the reality of the British Victorian men escaping Victorian sexual morals to indulge in the decadence of the French? This is not uncommon in Victorian underground literature, such as the famous book My Secret Life written by an anonymous author of the time. We even know of Oscar Wilde frequenting France for international exhibitions and other... ahem.... activities.
Maybe it was just an incredibly good looking cast?
The music is not only familiar to our tastes, but the singing and dancing is absolutely splendid and breath taking.
Without further ado....
