SPECTACULAR!

Take the wonderful music from the movie- stick your faves on a CD. This is that CD. If you find it's missing a song or two, check out the Moulin Rouge 2 CD.

A beautiful book for fans of the movie

This is an elegantly designed, beautifully crafted photo-documentary that tries to capture the spirit and feeling of the movie. To this end, the photography is very lush and colorful, with images taken from scenes throughout the film as well as during production.This book is NOT focused on any of the actors; buying it based on that expectation alone will lead to disappointment. (And inaccurately given/undeserved low stars...)Those expecting an in-depth, exhaustive analysis and detailed account of the concepts and ideas behind the film will also be disappointed. While there is commentary, this is not a book for film students.This book makes a great gift for fans of the movie and Baz in general as well.

Among the best making-of books

This book is a must-have for any fan of this genius film. The book is from Baz Luhrmann's company, so it carries through the breathtaking visual themes of the film, and it's just gorgeous. It has sections on the history of the Moulin Rouge, the story of the film, all aspects of the making, and portfolios of beautiful set photos from noted photographers. This is up there with "James Cameron's Titanic" as an invaluable visual document of the film.

This is a book about a great film

If you are a fan of this movie, then you must own this book. This is a very well put together book about the movie, the story, and how it was made. It has great photography, It has a couple of fold out pages. This would make a great coffee table book.
