Where To Watch Moulin Rouge!

More details about Moulin Rouge! and where you can watch

Moulin Rouge! (2001) has several fascinating behind-the-scenes details that make it one of the most memorable musical films in Hollywood. Although the story is set in Paris, most of the movie was filmed in Sydney, Australia, where elaborate sets were constructed to recreate the glamorous atmosphere of 1899 Paris. One of the most impressive creations was a giant three-storey elephant structure that contained Satine’s bedroom. Interestingly, Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor performed their own singing in the film, making the romantic musical sequences even more authentic. Nicole Kidman also suffered injuries during production, including fractured ribs, while rehearsing demanding scenes. Another unusual fact is that the song “Come What May” was originally written for Baz Luhrmann’s earlier film Romeo + Juliet but was eventually used in Moulin Rouge!. The film also features Kylie Minogue as the mysterious Green Fairy, a fantasy character inspired by absinthe. Its extravagant costumes, colorful production design and creative use of modern pop songs in a historical setting helped the movie receive eight Academy Award nominations and win two Oscars.
