Joel H Moulin Rouge! (with an exclamation point) is one of my favorite films. I actually didn't know that Moulin Rouge (without an exclamation point) existed until recently, but I was interested in learning more about the life of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, so I gave it a watch. It turns out that Toulouse-Lautrec had a pretty miserable life, and José Ferrer plays him in a way that makes that obvious to the audience. The film has a slow and tedious pace, and everyone seems generally unhappy. Perhaps Moulin Rogue would have resonated more with me if I had been more familiar with Toulouse-Lautrec's artwork. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Alec B The sequences set in the title location are great but they occupy a tiny portion of the movie's running time. The rest is a turgid romance and dull biopic material. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Cindy L If you love the art movement of the late 1800s. You'll love this biopic of Toulouse-Lautrec French painter. The director did the film in the color scheme of Lautrec's work. Jose Ferrer was 5'10" and played Lautrec. Lautrec was less than 5' tall. The director had legs made for Ferrer which he strapped on his knees. It's a superb film worth watching Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/22 Full Review william d I wanted to like this movie because I am interested in the subject. It's just not good enough to recommend though. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d This is not the Moulin Rouge you are looking for. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The film might suffer from a couple of exhausted biopic clichés (most notably in the flahback scenes), but it is still far above average of what the genre usually has to offer. The scenes that take place inside the Moulin Rouge are filmed and edited incredibly well and serve as a great contrast to Lautrec's somewhat gloomy private life. [This review is based on the French dubbed version of the film because I couldn't find the original English version anywhere.] Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
