	Baz Luhrmann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baz Luhrmann (born Mark Anthony Luhrmann on September 17, 1962) is an Australian film director.
		Luhrmann was raised in Herons Creek, a tiny rural settlement in northern New South Wales, where his father ran a petrol station and a movie theatre, both of which would influence his son's filmmaking career.
		Luhrmann was appointed an Ambassador for the Australian Theatre for Young People in 2005.

		Baz Luhrmann was at pains to find visual ways to enhance the audience’s understanding of the language and world of Romeo and Juliet.
		Baz Luhrmann must be one of the most infuriating filmmakers on the planet, and his latest picture, the cacophonous Moulin Rouge, manages to encapsulate both the brilliant heights and the maddening depths of his work.
		The final part in what Luhrmann describes as his red curtain trilogy is a sparkling folly, a tear-jerker that wears its heart on its sleeve, along with its artifice.

	ShinyGun \| Baz Luhrmann's One-Track Mind
		Lavish sets and Luhrmann's (sometimes frustrating) penchant for quick edits are breathtaking and exhilarating in their place, but it's the actors who anchor -- and sell -- his flights of fancy.
		Luhrmann doesn't achieve similar depths with his new bag of audiovisual tricks nearly as often as you'd like.
		Let Luhrmann have his way with a more typical genre if he wants to...I've seen enough to believe that -- come, ahem, what may -- anything Baz Luhrmann creates will be delightfully, frustratingly, spectacularly just a little bit unlike anything else on the scene.

		Luhrmann's "La Boheme" was a huge success -- it not only appealed to opera aficionados, but also to a younger generation less familiar with the medium but, as Luhrmann proved, no less interested in it.
		Luhrmann's interpretation of "La Boheme" won the Mo Award for Operatic Performance of the Year, and also aired on PBS' "Great Performances" series.
		In 1989 Luhrmann staged a unique event called "Dance Hall," for the Sydney Festival, in which he recreated a 1940s dance hall, inviting participants to relive the night celebrating the end of World War II.

		Indeed, 10 years ago, Luhrmann had already displayed his giddy devotion to romance and exuberant excess with his debut feature, Strictly Ballroom.
		Luhrmann himself was a ballroom dancer at the tender age of six, and the film reflects his affection and intimate knowledge of the sport.
		Baz Luhrmann: You know, it will get to be that, but, actually, right at the moment, it's truly a transitional moment from the 10 years of work that I've done.
