Ewan McGregor stars as Christian\, who leaves behind his bourgeois father during the French belle poque of the late 1890s to seek his fortunes in the bohemian underworld of Montmartre\, Paris. Christian meets the absinthe- and alcohol-addicted artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec\, who introduces him to a world of sex\, drugs\, music\, theater\, and the scandalous dance known as the cancan\, all at the Moulin Rouge\, a decadent dance hall\, brothel\, and theater that's the brainchild of Harold Zidler. Christian also meets and falls into a tragically doomed romance with the courtesan Satine\, who becomes the star of the play he's writing\, which parallels the couple's romance and utilizes rock music from a century later\, including songs by Nirvana\, Madonna\, the Beatles\, and Queen\, among others. Loosely based on the opera Orpheus in the Underworld\, Moulin Rouge was shown in competition at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.
