only lightly touches Montmartre's edgier lifestyle, but credibly renders a serviceable biopic of its prototypical artist.

Reviews for Moulin Rouge
A beautifully shot, measured movie that never really builds up enough sympathy for Lautrec to really move viewers.
Atmospheric drama with superior performance by Ferrer in lead. Great period set design, costumes.
