Truth - Beauty - Freedom - Love
This is the book to accompany the latest film 'Moulin Rouge' by celebrated Australian director, Baz Lurhmann. The film is essentially a romantic tragicomic musical that stars Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor as a couple that meet and fall in love at the infamous Parisian nightclub, the Moulin Rouge.
The movie took 188 days to shoot, with 480 hours of dance rehearsals, over 80,000 metres of floorboards, one 10 metre elephant, 8 weeks to build and only 2 days to destroy, more than 650 extras, over 750 crew, and one donkey. Part the making of the film, part photographic essay, part retelling of the story, part history lesson on late 19th century bohemian Paris, this is a gorgeous, illustrated companion book that reflects the operatic grandiosity of this big movie-musical fantasy. A lavish production, rich, luscious and incredibly beautiful.
The Fox film 'Moulin Rouge' has an enormous cast also including such Australian actors as David Wenham, Richard Roxborough, Garry McDonald, Kylie Minogue, and Christine Anu.
