I laughed when Satine died. This movie was lame, and cheesy. I don't know how it even got nominated.

MCT:September 18, 2008This is not the 2001 Baz Luhrmann movie, but the 1952 film from the great John Huston. The Luhrmann film was not really a remake of this, both movies take place in turn or the century Paris and feature scenes in the Moulin Rouge cabaret (which was a real place), but the similarities end there. This movie is more about the life of a real painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who?s played convincingly by Jose Ferrer. The story isn?t overly interesting and it falls into a lot of the usual biopic pitfalls, but it makes up for it with its technical/production attributes. The film is notable for being one of the first color films to deliberately de-saturate the bright Technicolor of the era, resulting in a more natural palate.

MCT:May 27, 2008This movie must have been quite the spectacle on the big screen in its time. It was interesting, not having known much about Toulouse-Lautrec. The acting style is a bit strange, the way the lines are delivered. It's very stacatto, as if being forecfully read.

Okay folks, this is NOT the 2001 version. This is the film from 1952, the better film if I had a say in it. It's a fictional biopic about french artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and his inspiration from the Parisian club Moulin Rouge, at the end of the 19th Century. The end was a bit convoluted, but I found it an utterly charming window into the past, in the club with the Can-Can girls. Lovely.

Cool movie. Though the whole love triangle angle of the movie was effectively translated on screen. On the other hand, the whole movie was visually breath taking. Love the whole carnival effect of it.
-
MCT:April 9, 2008A modern type of musical and i love it.I watch it over and over again but it still succeed in bringing me tears and laughter.

Enjoyable. A different role for José Ferrer or rather two roles also brief appearances by Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

I couldn;t watch past halfway. Every thing about it wasgood, but it did not work as a movie. Too campy in the worng places and too loose in others and just blah all over. Great cinematography

The music, the characters, the directing--you can't help but admire this film for getting so many things right.

This is the very first film that I watched totally in English (without subtitles)! A very touching movie! The love story is common, but it still made me cry at that time. I really don't want that unhappy ending! I really love the guy (Ewan)! He's cute, and he helps the showgirl realize what is true love. The very first part of the movie is funny, especially the situation when the couple first met each other. Besides, it's also an excellent musical movie! The familiar tunes (such as Cancan) go into every audience's heart easily. Until now I still remember every single word of the song "All you need is love". Really inspiring song! Love it! Never do I feel all of Nicole's beauty until I saw this movie!

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I'm loving you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time
Chorus
Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Wonderful and powerful, view of the pornography and voyeur times of Paris, when women used their bodies to gain whatever the finances and cultural growth they could get. Nicole is magnificent, that lady can even sing. Hunter

Great musical... and very original! Taking very known songs and integrating them to the story was bold but the final product was fabulous.

Excellent biopic of Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, the turn of the century painter whose legs were deformed by a childhood accident, leaving him essentially a dwarf. Jose Ferrer does a great job in conveying the frustration and pain -- both physical and emotional -- of someone in his condition. The scenes in the Moulin Rouge club is visually exciting, making you understand why he wanted to spend so much time there. Anyone with any knowledge of Lautrec and his art will recognize the inspirations of his paintings. But you don't have to know anything about him at all. It's interesting on its own. Keep an eye out -- not too difficult -- for Zsa Zsa Gabor in an early role as a performer at the club. This film is completely different and MUCH better than that musical tripe starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan MacGregor.

Truly touching I thought. I feel a certain artistic kinship with this man, and admire his strength, regardless of his failures.

I kind of liked this. Ok, the book had more passion and the colours of the movie hurt my eyes not to mention the wooden performance of Herrer but I liked this.
-
MCT:December 30, 2007Now this one I didn't like, I thought the remake was much, much better. This one was too dry and annoying, not much fun to watch. Plus unlikable characters don't help!
