Moulin Rouge! (2001) is a jukebox musical romantic drama film helmed by Baz Luhrmann. Set in 1900 Paris, the story follows Christian, a young writer mourning the loss of his beloved. He takes to his typewriter to pen their love story. In the Montmartre district, he joins the Bohemian movement and meets Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and his troupe who are working on a play called Spectacular Spectacular. With Christian’s help, they finish the play and head to the Moulin Rouge in hopes that Satine, the star performer and courtesan, will be impressed by Christian’s talents and convince Harold Zidler, the proprietor of the club, to let him write for them. However, Zidler has ulterior motives as he plans to strike a deal with the wealthy Duke of Monroth who wants Satine in exchange for funding to turn the Moulin Rouge into a theater.
That evening, Satine confuses Christian for the Duke and uses her charms to tempt him into dancing and having a private conversation. However, during their encounter, Christian reveals his true identity. As the Duke interrupts them, Satine covers their tracks by claiming they were rehearsing for Spectacular Spectacular with the Bohemians. With Zidler’s assistance, Christian and the Bohemians come up with a tale about a beautiful Indian courtesan who mistakenly falls for a humble sitar player she believes to be an evil maharaja. The Duke is impressed and agrees to invest in the show under one condition – he must have control over Satine and the Moulin Rouge. Despite initially denying her feelings for Christian, Satine eventually gives in and they share a passionate kiss.
