Episode 27: Moulin Rouge!

“Spectacular! Spectacular!” … These words aren’t in this film’s vernacular. Drinks aplenty don this event, you’ll be dumb…and that’s pretty much it. We continue our Critically Panneduary/So Bad it Hurts/Don’t Yuck My Yum marathon with Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 musical monstrosity Moulin Rouge! This film will have your head spinning, as if you had just chugged a bathtub of absinthe...we think Baz might have while he was directing. Follow the green fairy, and join the Children of the Revolution. Here at Nightcaps, we stand for all things Bohemian: Freedom, Beauty, Truth, Love, and Booze. This is a tale of sparkling diamonds, penniless sitar players, music that no one should ever have the rights to, really obvious coughing, and furious editing. Prepare to belt out your best love ballads from the top of Lucy the Elephant, just watch out for that opera singing moon and remember this lesson. “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn…is just to drink and share a bad movie in return.”
