Moulin Rouge. (B-) I picked the DVD up at Best Buy for $10 the other day and gave the movie its second viewing since its theatrical release. I got quite a kick out of it the first time around, but it didn't hold up as well on second viewing. The problem, mostly, was the draggy second hour. After the giddy thrill of the music-video-style introduction to the Moulin Rouge itself, the elaborate "emergency rehearsal" for the Duke in Satine's elephant, and the surreal "Like a Virgin" scene, most of the rest seems anticlimactic.
