Moulin Rouge is a 2001 Australian–American jukebox musical romanticcomedy film directed, produced, and co-written by Baz Luhrmann. It tells thestory of a young English poet/writer, Christian (Ewan McGregor), who falls inlove with the star of the Moulin Rouge, cabaret actress and courtesan Satine(Nicole Kidman). It uses the musical setting of the Montmartre Quarter ofParis, France.
At the 74th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for eight Oscars,including Best Picture and Best Actress for Nicole Kidman, winning two: forBest Art Direction and Best Costume Design. It was the first musical nominatedfor Best Picture in 10 years, following Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991). Thestoryline of Moulin Rouge can be traced back to Alexandre Dumas, fils' The Ladyof the Camellias, although Luhrmann, as an opera director, was probably moredirectly influenced by Verdi's adaptation, La traviata.
When asked about his inspiration for Moulin Rouge!, Luhrmann remarked:“When I was inIndia researching Midsummer Night's Dream, we went to this huge, ice creampicture palace to see a Bollywood movie. Here we were, with 2,000 Indianswatching a film in Hindi, and there was the lowest possible comedy and thenincredible drama and tragedy and then break out in songs. And it wasthree-and-a-half hours! We thought we had suddenly learnt Hindi, because weunderstood everything! We thought it was incredible. How involved the audienceswere. How uncool they were - how their coolness had been ripped aside and howthey were united in this singular sharing of the story. The thrill of thinking,'Could we ever do that in the West? Could we ever get past that cerebral cooland perceived cool.' It required this idea of comic-tragedy. Could you makethose switches? Fine in Shakespeare - low comedy and then you die in fiveminutes. In 'Moulin Rouge', we went further. Our recognizable story, thoughOrphan in shape, is derived from Camille, La Boheme - whether you know thosetexts or not, you recognize those patterns and character types.”
Luhrmann revealed that he drew from the Greek tragedy of Orpheus andEurydice in the DVD's audio commentary. The legend of Orpheus says he was amusical genius, far surpassing anyone in his world; the filmmakers chose toreplicate this by using songs from the mid-to-late 20th century, many decadesafter the film's 1899 setting. In this way, Christian would appear to the othercharacters to be ahead-of-his-time as a musician and writer.
