Cross LA BOHEME with CABARET, throw in a little bit of RENT, and you might almost begin to describe Baz Luhrmann's visually opulent, fast-paced, funny, heartrending MOULIN ROUGE. The film, which premiered as the opener to the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, is a musical set in 1899 Paris at the notorious Montmartre cabaret club, the Moulin Rouge. Directed by Luhrmann (WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO AND JULIET, STRICTLY BALLROOM), the movie stars Nicole Kidman as the high-kicking courtesan, Satine; Ewan McGregor as the sensitive poet, Christian; and John Leguizamo as the flamboyant artist and matchmaker, Toulouse-Lautrec. Luhrmann's use of eclectic lighting and saturated color, the fast zooms and quick cuts of his camera, and his magnificent costumes and sets perfectly capture the excess and freneticism for which the Moulin Rouge was famous. Beautifully led by McGregor and Kidman, the flawless supporting cast brings to life the culture of belle epoque Paris with magical realism. Above all, the anachronistic, energetic contemporary soundtrack is what drives MOULIN ROUGE, with popular songs by L'il Kim, Christina Aguilera, David Bowie, and Beck--as well as Kidman and McGregor adding their own superb vocals.

After three years without a studio release, quirky Icelandic songstress Bjork reappeared in full force with 2004's MEDULLA, an album built exclusively around vocal tracks. Continuing on her lifelong trajectory of experimentation, the album is one of her most challenging to date, belying the simplicity of all-vocal source material with the layered complexity and production of the album. Emotional, intimate, and almost physically affecting in its sensuality, the record incorporated the talents of many contributors. INNER PART OF AN ANIMAL PLANT STRUCTURE - THE MAKING OF MEDULLA allows viewers a glimpse of the process that was so vital to the fulmination of this masterpiece. The behind-the-scenes documentary features appearances by Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle), as well as the world's greatest human beatboxers, Rahzel (The Roots) and Dokaka, an Inuit throat singer, and an Icelandic choir, among many others. The film follows Bjork over the course of a year, visiting her in the studio, at home in both Iceland and New York City, and elsewhere, providing an insightful and intimate look not just at the making of an album, but the life of a true artistic visionary.DVD Features:Region 0Snap CaseFull Frame - 1.33
