Moulin Rouge! – 35mm

NB! This screening is free for people who have purchased an NFK-kontingent within the last six months

What do the 19th century opera La Bohème, Greek mythology and Elton John have in common? They all inspired Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 classic Moulin Rouge. 

Moulin Rouge brings the story of two star-crossed lovers living in Montmartre, Paris to life with an overabundance of colors, flashy costumes, and Lurhmann’s signature ‘chaotic’ visuals. Oh, and did we mention it’s a jukebox musical? The movie follows Christian (Ewan McGregor), a penniless and naïve poet, who has his entire life flipped upside down when he falls head over heels for the beautiful Satine (Nicole Kidman), a courtesan and star performer at the cabaret theatre, the Moulin Rouge. The two lovers are thrown into a fantastical whirlwind romance, but quickly have to face reality, and potentially tragedy, as Satine gets involved with the Duke, a jealous nobleman who’s as equally rich as he is dangerous.

Moulin Rogue følger to skjebnebundne elskere i en fargerik fremstilling av Montmartre, Paris, brakt til livet av Baz Luhrmanns visuelt slående stil. Den nyskapende musikalen introduserer oss til Christian, en fattig og naive forfatter, som forelsker seg i Satine, en kurtisane og danser ved kabaretteateret Moulin Rouge. Men det som starter som en søt romanse blir fort til tragedie når Greven, en rik, men sjalu adelsmann, blir fast bestemt på å ha Satine for seg selv.
