We watched Moulin Rouge last night and while I loved most of the music and Ewan, I was really disappointed because the dancing was so unapproachable. I'm saying this as a dance fanatic...we have season tickets to 2 dance companys and love dance above, say, opera. So for that reason, I was very irritated by the way the dnces were filmed in that frantic, zig-zag style.
It was imaginative and the ways they used the songs were great but I just couldn't warm up it as much as I wanted to.
(The scenes in the tower drove me nuts because I wanted so badly to see those Venetian glass mirrors! But that's not a huge problem except for scenery nuts like myself.)
