Moulin Rouge

Director: Ewald Andre Dupont

UK, 1928

Genre: Drama, Musical, Language: English

Synopsis:

No, not the recent Baz Luhrmann extravaganza, but the original silent version of the eternal triangle set in the dark and dangerous streets of Montmartre. Described at the time as 'Britain's first superfilm', the overall impression is more like contemporary German cinema, with sumptuous black & white photography. Screened with an accompanying soundtrack.
