Book excerpt: Moulin Rouge is a celebration of truth, beauty, freedom but above all things love. Set in the infamous, gaudy and glamorous Paris nightclub, circa 1900, director Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom, William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet) brings together period design and modern-era pop tunes to create a comic/tragic motion picture experience. Nicole Kidman portrays Satine, the Sparkling Diamond, star of the Moulin Rouge and the city's most famous courtesan. Satine is caught between the love of a young writer and another man's obsession. Ewan McGregor is the writer, Christian, who finds himself plunged into this decadent world where anything goes - except falling in love.
