We rented Moulin Rouge last night, our first time seeing it. What a sensory treat! I really enjoyed the performance of Jim Broadbent. He's been in a couple of other fun movies recently: Bridget Jones' Diary (Dad) and Topsy Turvy (Gilbert). But you might also remember him from Time Bandits, Brazil, The Crying Game, Little Voice, Smilla's Sense of Snow, Erik the Viking, and others. Mr. Broadbent doesn't usually get the most glamorous role, but he always plays it with a manic gusto.
