	Rouge (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rouge (胭脂扣, Yin ji kau) is a 1987 Hong Kong movie, directed by Stanley Kwan.
		Retribution has been paid in kind and she was content to leave as the living world is not her home.
		The film title Rouge refers to the cosmetic, which was a red strip used to colour the lips before the advent of the lipstick; Fleur was shown using it at the very beginning of the film.

	Moulin Rouge! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Academy Award for Best Actress for Nicole Kidman, but won only the Academy Award for Best Costume Design and the Academy Award for Best Art Direction.
		The film takes well-known popular songs and modifies them to fit into a tale of a turn-of-the-20th-century Paris cabaret, blending swirling camera motion, loud music, and dancing to a powerful effect.
		A limited release on May 18, 2001 followed, and the film was released to theaters nationwide on June 1, 2001.

		The rest of the time is spent experimenting with the lighting, framing his film in an elegant manner and basically bringing the viewer on an ‘eye-candy’ joy ride that is superseded with its’ elegant and engaging romantic story.
		The film contains a superb supporting cast including Richard Roxburgh as the insanely jealous financier and Jim Broadbent as Harold Zidler, the larger than life owner of the underground establishment which seems to be the center of convention for the French Elitists in this strange yet crude subculture.
		Luhrman sets the film in a dizzying manner that it seems to extract itself from the opening musical sequence that has completely reinvented the manner in which musicals will be seen in the future.

	The Cultural Context of Rouge by Anthony Leong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In order to fully appreciate the significance of "Rouge", it is important to view the film as a gestalt of disparate elements that both form and support a thematic core.
		Throughout the film, Fleur desperately clings to her past, despite the obvious signs around her that the rest of the world has moved on.
		In this film, it is the fear of the future and the inability to accept change that leads to the downfall of its characters.

	Moulin Rouge Party Guide
		Co-written, directed and co-produced by internationally renowned Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, MOULIN ROUGE is a euphorically high-style vision of a gl amorous Underworld, captured at the closing of one century, for contemporary audiences experiencing parallel loves, deaths and rebirths, new technologies and dance parties, at the closing of another century.
		In MOULIN ROUGE, the Orphean myth is central to what Luhrmann calls a "Red Curtain" theatrical style, which he has employed in each of his three films.
		In one of the film's most awe-inspiring, magical sequences, Christian serenades Satine with Elton John's "Your Song," to which they get so caught up in their feelings for one another that they are lifted out of the building window and onto the clouds in the sky.

	Political Film Society - Moulin Rouge
		The musical Moulin Rouge may tempt older filmviewers to attend in the expectation of seeing a remake of the classic film Moulin Rouge (1952), based on the novel of the same title by Pierre La Mure starring José Ferrer as Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, an artist who drew sketches of risqué dancers, circa 1900.
		However, the Moulin Rouge’s proprietor Zidler (played by Jim Broadbent) has arranged for her to have a rendezvous with the Duke of Worcester (played by Richard Roxburgh), who is very displeased.
		The film’s tagline is "An experience you won't forget." I expect that those who saw the earlier version will want to forget this version, and those who did not will groove on the rock music.

	Moulin Rouge : film review
		Without seeing the film, this sounds dreadfully hackneyed stuff, but it is Lurhmann's visual genius that means that this film is unlike anything you've ever seen before.
		Obviously this is a film where disbelief has to be suspended somewhat, as songs like Smells Like Teen Spirit, and Lady Marmalade would not be the typical 19th century hits.
		After a series of mediocre films, he at last gets the chance to remind people just what a talented and charismatic actor he can be.

		Yet when an original, daring, shocking film like this comes along, they don't know what to do with it.
		But then again, this really is not just a film.
		No mere film could strike me the way this one has, in a way that reaches to the very fibres of my being in a way only "The Wizard of Oz" ever has before.

	Moulin Rouge film review
		Christian's introduction to the Moulin Rouge and its irrepressible and ruthless owner Zidler (Jim Broadbent) is followed by his first sight of the porcelain beauty Satine.
		The look of the film is stunning with Donald McAlpine's cinematography accentuating perfectly the lurid brashness and humour of Ann Marie Beauchamp's art direction.
		Moulin Rouge is undoubtedly not for the faint of heart, but for those who embrace it in the spirit in which it was conceived, it will provide a wealth of surprises and pleasure.

	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| Film \| Muted reviews for Moulin Rouge
		Moulin Rouge is a tour de force of artifice, a dazzling pastiche of musical and visual elements at the service of a blatantly artificial story.
		The film's detractors will have a hard time dismissing it is just a crazy quilt of imagery inspired by music videos.
		As with his film Romeo and Juliet, the wonderboy of Australian cinema mixes different styles and eras in a story of impossible love.

	Moulin Rouge
		Moulin Rouge is a mix of elements of 19th century European operetta (La Bohème), classical Hollywood musicals, today's video clip aesthetics and pop music.
		The courtesan Satine (Nicole Kidman) is the star of the famous cabaret Moulin Rouge where she bedazzles rich customers to whom she sells her body after the show.
		As she realizes her error, it is already too late: the poet and the courtesan have fallen in love with each other.

		Satine is the star of the eponymous nightspot, whose future depends on her marrying a wealthy patron (Richard Roxburgh).
		In a plot twist borrowed from "La Bohème" (which Luhrmann filmed for Australian television in 1993), she is also suffering from tuberculosis.

	Moulin Rouge - Movie Preview
		But, in the film, the same myth is also central to what Luhrmann calls his ‘Red Curtain’ theatrical style, which was also evident in his two earlier films, Strictly Ballroom and William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet.
		Moulin Rouge is a musical fantasy about love and inspiration set in the infamous, dangerous and glamorous Parisian nightclub of the same name.
		But there are numerous apparent anachronisms: the film blends period with contemporary pop through its use of established songs, which are featured in both innovative contexts and unexpected arrangements.

		Although thanks to the cheap wine and it's nickname among my wino friends, I tend to constantly read "rogue" instead of "rouge," so I was expecting something much more exciting (like in that swashbuckling sense, not the academic one), content-wise.
		This is from a former English major and veteran of three film classes.
		I saw the premier at the Toronto film fest and the audience was rolling in the aisles in laughter.

		The film is also credited with jumpstarting the young Hollywood frenzy of the late 90s.
		The rhythm of the film, both sonically and cinematically, is much different than what we're accustomed to in motion pictures...
		Moulin Rouge is probably not a perfect film, but the cinema is first and foremost a visual medium.

	Moulin Rouge: Film Review by Harold Hark
		I felt as if I were peeking into a cedar lined box of keepsakes containing unnaturally preserved miniature dolls owned by an old woman whose hair has grown long and stringy, upon whose chenille covered bed, tucked away in some bayou of insanity, lay dozens of stuffed childhood animals, all seeking to anthropomorphise into Chucky.
		The dolls and/or stuffed animals came alive in Luhrman's film and there were moments when I thought I would howl from the sheer horror as the animated mannequins cavorted.
		Forget all those film critic apologists trying to pass off his vision as "tongue in cheek"; if he is indeed an earthling, then this bloke lives in the madwoman's keepsake box.

	S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine
		The Khmer Rouge, headed by Pol Pot, combined extremist ideology, ethnic animosity, and a disregard for human life to produce murder on a massive scale.
		The singularity of the film lies in a confrontation between the survivors, who want to understand what happened so they can warn future generations, and the jailers, who seem stupefied as they re-live the horror to which they contributed.
		He hopes his films will be a stimulus for just that, "It is a question of who we are, where we come from, how we explain ourselves to our children." And it is important not just for Cambodians, but for all of us.

	Moulin Rouge film movie trailer review at The Z Review
		Ananova today report that there is going to be a surprise movie at the Edinburgh Film Festival, and the word is that it's going to be Moulin Rouge or the David Lynch movie, Mulholland Drive.
		Kidman and McGregor both arrived hand in hand, giggled and shared a cigarette and also when speaking to UK paper The Sun's Bizzarre column, Kidman was quoted in saying that 'she adored her Scottish co-star'.
		The film is a musical and the soundtrack will include the likes of Fatboy Slim, Beck, Ozzy Osbourne, Timbaland and even Placido Domingo and should be as good as that on Romeo and Juliet.

		And yet, this film tells the story in such a way that we feel it is being told for the very first time.
		In the film's closing scenes, the religious Indian motif and its connection to the elephant give the Moulin Rouge the sense of being a sacred place.
		As he gazes from the window in his room to the Moulin Rouge, there is a highly symbolic space (gulf) between them.

		The film is presented in anamorphic widescreen (formatted for 16:9 TVs) with a visual aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and has lush, velvety Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 sound options.
		If you dismiss the premise behind Moulin Rouge (a love story set in Bohemian Paris, told largely through song with scant regard for the restraints of reality) as improbable and almost absurd, you may miss one of the best films of recent years.
		The film flickers from the hilarious to the dark and tragic, and despite the unashamed flamboyance and craziness of the world of the Moulin Rouge, no character (except possibly the naïve Christian - Ewan McGregor) is at all simplified.

	Moulin Rouge (2001): Reviews
		Against the backdrop of 19th Century Paris and the famed Montmartre cabaret, this is the story of the doomed love affair between Christian (McGregor), a young poet, and Satine (Kidman), a courtesan and performer at the Moulin Rouge.
		It's the kind of film that wildly divides audiences and critics -- people tend to either love or hate it.
		The film musical is at the moment an even more devitalized art form than the Broadway musical.

		Fast-forward 50 years, and it transpires that his spirit never joined hers in the afterliife, so she returns to Earth in an effort to track him down, roping in two journalist en route.
		This is a sad and beautiful film that takes as much pride in its supernatural roots as it does in its eartly ones.
		The story of the squabbling scribes, for example, is as compelling as that of their celestial visitor who brings them closer together.

		Songs and imagery taken from a century of film, musicals and pop are mixed into a dense, intoxicating fantasy set in a dream-like recreation of 1899 Montmartre and its primary venue for debauchery, the Moulin Rouge.
		A bordello," is how young British poet Christian (McGregor) describes it when he first arrives, wide-eyed, in the company of a troupe of champion bohemians led by the diminutive Toulouse-Lautrec (Leguizamo).
		The first 20 minutes of the film are overwhelming, reflecting what Christian is feeling as he enters the packed club, surrounded by crowds of top-hatted gents and high-kicking courtesans.

		Oddly, the film's initial soundtrack release may have been the project's most traditional element, marketing a slate of pop-star contributions that gave listeners a sometimes-skewed perspective on its true musical charms.
		The crowning glory of this Volume 2 soundtrack, however, is the original film version of the haunting Come What May. While the snazzier version included on Volume 1 still manages to give me chills, this film version is what the hearts of Moulin Rouge fans find themselves crying for in the night.
		In all honesty, the most memorable scene in Moulin Rouge is the highly unusual performance of Like a Virgin by Jim Broadbent and Richard Roxburgh; this completely unexpected scene does much to define the essence of director Baz Luhrmann's boldness and genius.

		Such risible biography, disjointed montage, and shaky characterization might all have faded from the audience's concern if the film were content to play to its own strengths: showing us more dances, staying inside the decadent establishment that gives this film its name.
		Huston comes across as embarrassed by the carnality and abandon of his film's own milieu, and so he perversely avoids it, mistakenly assuming that only a person, never a place, can support the narrative of a film.
		As ever, this zeppelin of a screen star is outsized, ungainly, and empty of solid substance—for once, she's found a film to fit her, and that isn't a good thing.
