A movie that would stay in my memory forever. I saw this movie in Bohol back in 2001 during our one week vacation. The reasoned why I could not forget this movie because there was a part of the movie where I was left alone in the theater. Too bad my ex- had to left me to get our tickets going back to Cagayan. There was a valid reasoned that I was aware of. Truly a beautiful movie. Starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.

A poet falls for a beautiful courtesan whom a jealous duke covets in this stylish musical, with music drawn from familiar 20th century sources. The year is 1899, and Christian, a young English writer, has come to Paris to follow the Bohemian revolution taking hold of the city’s drug and prostitute infested underworld. And nowhere is the thrill of the underworld more alive than at the Moulin Rouge, a night club where the rich and poor men alike come to be entertained by the dancers, but things take a wicked turn for Christian as he starts a deadly love affair with the star courtesan of the club, Satine. But her affections are also coveted by the club’s patron: the Duke. A dangerous love triangle ensues as Satine and Christian attempt to fight all odds to stay together but a force that not even love can conquer is taking its toll on Satine.
