When an idealistic poet (Ewan McGregor) is drawn into the dark, fantastical underworld of the Parisian nightclub the Moulin Rouge, he finds a seedy, glamorous haven of sex, drugs and electricity. He also finds himself plunged into a passionate love affair with the club’s star, who is also the city’s most famous courtesan (Nicole Kidman) in this tragic love story from filmmaker Baz Luhrmann.
This event will also include a performance based on the themes of Moulin Rouge! from local queer drag artist Xero Phucse.
Presented by Guilt-Free Pleasures and showing as part of our season Too Much: Melodrama on Film – supported by the BFI and Film Hub North.
