Title: Spectacular, Spectacular!
Review: My friend told me he'd heard the soundtrack was just a bunch of covers of sappy old love songs.It's so much MORE than that! It's an amazing assortment of lyrics, taken from songs of all genres and eras put together in an ingenious conglomoration, making for a soundtrack that crosses all kinds of musical boundaries. Ewan McGregor (Christian) and Nicole Kidman (Satine) sing their characters' songs, and they have incredible hidden talent that would never have been discovered, had it not been for producer/director Baz Luhrman's perfectionistic vision. The nightclub, however hand-me-down in name, leaves room for an anything goes attitude, influenced and encouraged by the Bohemian themes of the movie's plot and characters. All around, it's a wonderful display of talent on both sides of the mic.
