Moulin Rouge (2001 - PG13)

MOULIN ROUGE is a modern day juxtaposition of La Boheme, and Showgirls in this over-the-top, visual and auditory splendor. When a penniless Bohemian writer falls in love with the infamous underground night club Moulin Rouge's star courtesan, Satine, his life is forever changed. Though its love at first sight for these two, a nefarious Duke enters the picture with the bucks to financially back the Moulin Rouge's latest show, to be written by none other than the Bohemian writer himself. As the production ensues, however, the lusty Duk's jealous skepticism threatens to destroy the love between courtesan and poet before the courtesan's own fatal secret tragically emerges.

Written by: Craig Pearce.
