Colette marchand and josé ferrer

Skip to content. Quick links. One of the most-needed Blu-Ray upgrades I can think of for a stunningly beautiful film. I've wanted to upgrade this gem for a long time.

Colette Marchand. Actress: Moulin Rouge. Colette

But when he becomes embroiled in a turbulent relationship with a vivacious prostitute, he turns to the bottle and frustrated passion, love, heartbreak and painful self-discovery beckon in bawdy, bohemian Paris.

Re: Moulin Rouge 7 Post by tenia » Tue Nov 19, pm Beautiful new restoration of the movie, though the soundtrack has difficulties supporting the on-screen action. It often sounds flat, with a general volume which is too low to begin with, but it mostly seems to be lacking in the mid and high range, resulting in a muddled track that doesn't help on both the opening musical numbers and the more dialogues-driven rest of the movie.

The movie felt very on-and-off to me. I'm especially not convinced by the casting overall, which often fails to properly convey emotion and just seem too mechanical in their deliveries.

Bet this commentary will be a treat. Re: Moulin Rouge 13 Post by therewillbeblus » Wed Dec 04, am I absolutely loved this, and am left wondering how it remained a gap in my John Huston viewings for so long. Ferrer is a chameleon of an actor and sells his character well as a complicated man barely hanging on yet conveying a strange confidence halfway between humble acceptance and completely giving up on life, a vast gap that he somehow nails.

The journey of the narrative is one that layers socialization and culture atop loneliness without pretending that they can cure the ennui of isolation without deeper, intimate connection, instead wisely serving to heighten this realization.
