Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge

The Tango scene from Moulin Rouge got me thinking about the incredible sets and costumes in that film. It's not my favorite movie, but it's visually stunning. I would love to spend a couple of days drinking absinthe in this world. 


It's difficult to find good quality images from this film online, especially of this bedroom set, which I loved because it looks like the inside of a valentine!





I can't help but think that the scalloped design on Satine's Diamonds costume are a nod to Marilyn Monroe, who sung Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend,.

This movie reminds me of my lifetime goal, to be at least partially employed as the girl on a swing at a glamorous club. But they don't make clubs like they used to...
