Christian, a young Bohemian poet living in 1899 Paris, defies his father by joining the colourfully diverse clique inhabiting the dark, fantastical underworld of Paris' now legendary Moulin Rouge. In this seedy but glamorous heaven of sex, drugs and newly-discovered electricity, the poet-innocent finds himself plunged into a passionate but ultimately tragic love affair with Satine, the club's highest paid star and the city's most famous courtesan. Their romance is played out against the infamous club -- a meeting place of high and low, where slumming aristocrats and the fashionably rich mingle with workers, artists, bohemians, actresses and courtesans... Overall, I find this movie very musical. And I guess Perhaps Love is the Chinese version of this. I bet the director copied this movie's idea, combining musical and dramatic romance storyline together. Not a bad idea though. Perhaps Love won many awards and praises. There is actually something I don't exactly like about this movie, but I just can't figure it out exactly. Hmm... Maybe it's a bit boring in the story... Though I find the scenes on the musical part interesting, I find some other too cliche. Rating: 3/5
