Trivia
Filming was halted for two weeks in November 1999 after Nicole Kidman fractured two ribs and injured her knee while rehearsing a dance routine for the film. Many of the scenes where she is seen only from the chest up, including "a real actress," were shot while she was in a wheelchair.

Goofs
Satine goes to great time and effort to be bound into a red dress before her meeting with "the Duke". Why would she then change into the black negligee in which she arrives at the Elephant Room?

Quotes
Christian: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

Crazy credits
Theatre stage curtains open and close the film.

Not for everyone's taste...

Despite dazzling visuals and lavish production numbers, MOULIN ROUGE is almost all style and no substance. Frankly, I'd rather watch one of the MGM musicals from the '40s and '50s than sit through this more than once.

Kidman and McGregor are in fine physical form except that neither one has a true singer's voice.

Much of it is rather frenetic and grotesque, but no one can accuse it of lacking a colorful stylized life of its own. The best performance comes from Roxburgh as The Duke--excellent job.

It will appeal to fans of Kidman and McGregor but is certainly not the sort of musical suited to everyone's taste.
