Moulin Rouge (2001)

From NetFlix:

Naïve young poet Ewan McGregor falls in love with cabaret star Nicole Kidman, and their ill-fated romance serves as a convenient peg on which to hang a dazzling array of numbers that span musical idioms (from snatches of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music” to Madonna’s “Like a Virgin”). But the real star of the show is director Baz Luhrmann, who came up with this infectious concoction.

You will either love or hate this film which was recommended by “1001 Films to See Before You Die” and won 2 Oscars. At the very least you have to like musicals. If nothing else, you get to see yet another side of the multi-talented Ewan McGregor.
