Film Description
All three films in Baz Luhrmann's loosely themed 'Red Curtain' trilogy.
Back in 1996, several critics reckoned this was really Baz Luhrmann's 'Romeo + Juliet', with Shakespeare buried beneath an avalanche of gaudy visual tricks, noisy action and pop songs. But the essence of the play does not just survive, it leaps off the screen in heightened colours. Claire Danes' intelligence and Leonardo Di Caprio's intensity - though not his verse speaking - make them the most affecting Romeo and Juliet cinema has yet produced.
'Moulin Rouge' was one of the most explosive films of 2001, a riotous collision of song, dance, romance, colour and melodrama. Energetic direction, bold use of contemporary music within a period setting, plus heartfelt and dynamic lead performances by Kidman and Macgregor, all add up to a post-modern re-invention of the musical motion picture.
'Australia' is a sweeping historical epic set in northern Australia. Nicole Kidman stars as Lady Sarah Ashley, an English aristocrat who inherits a vast cattle ranch in the unforgiving Australian outback. When her land comes under threat from a takeover plot by English cattle barons, Sarah reluctantly teams up with a rough-edged drover (Hugh Jackman) to drive her 2,000 head of cattle hundreds of miles over some of the world's most desolate landscape. The pair then arrive in Darwin just in time to face the Japanese bombings that come only months after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
