Moulin Rouge |
Rating: * * Director: Baz Luhrmann Running time: 128 minutes Language: English Now showing |
Australian director Baz Luhrmann seems to fancy himself as The Mother of All Postmodernists. For those of you who didn't catch that from his last movie, "Romeo + Juliet," there's no avoiding it in his latest. "Moulin Rouge" is a work of pure artifice, a vast glimmering pastiche of ironic and iconic cultural quotes, steals and cliches. As such, I'll give Luhrmann the review he so richly deserves . . .
