2028

Au bout de cinq à dix minutes, j'ai su que je ne pourrais pas poursuivre le film et que je n'en connaitrais jamais le développement ni la fin, et que ça m'était bien égal. Moi qui ai du mal avec les comédies musicales, j'en ai encore bien davantage avec des scènes d'agitation et de vocifération permanentes. A voir la richesse des costumes et des décors, je me dis qu'il y a sûrement là matière à satisfaire les amateurs du genre. Je n'en fais pas partie, voilà tout. ( )

Amusing, terrific compilation of songs, modern version of the impressionistic area of 1900. images, color(red, black and yellow), light/dark (clair obscure), music, language, ( writing jokes and So much references, also in poses :) ) , changes, variety, i always like Nicole Kidman. Such a swirling start!. It's Funny and light, overdramatic drama ( suited overdone, WP: 'pseudo pastiche'), in the frame story in Blue . Sometimes you need this.

"Christian: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. ( )

Really bad acting by Nicole Kidman ( )

When I first saw this in 2001, I couldn't decide whether I hated it or loved it. As a sort of "musical purist," I didn't care for the concept of mashing up a pastiche of re-purposed stage and pop hits. So I watched it again (for the fabulous dance choreography)... and again (for the gorgeous costuming)... and again (for the sheer spectacle of the major numbers)... and discovered I was hooked.

I still don't really approve of the concept. On the other hand, I've long been a big fan of pretty much anyone who's fearless enough to go for a truly bold choice like this, especially with the objective of making an established art genre more "audience accessible." Plus, the performances are astonishing, it's super eye-candy, and OMG, that Tango... ( )
