Formed by Matjaž Kosi, after he left Videosex in 1985, the band was originally an all-male three-piece. Their first domestic release was a self-titled 2-song EP in 1985, which contained "Svet je za Glorio" and "Mi plešemo". "Moulin Rouge", released in 1987, was their first full-length album, now as a male/female duo consisting of Kosi and Alenka Šmid. The album collected all of the previously released singles in Slovenian, as well as their international trademark hit "Boys Don't Cry". The band went on to produce several more singles and two English language albums for the Japanese market. In 1988, they took part in the "Jugovizija"--the Yugoslav pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest--with the song "Johnny je moj" and ended up 5th.

Moulin rouge is actually based off a french novel “La dame aux camélias”, written by Alexandre Dumas jr. (The bastard son of the guy who wrote The Three Musketeers). The novel itself is based on a true story, on the relationship between Alexandre Dumas jr. and a courtesan named Marie Duplessis, who died at age 23 of a chest disease.

The novel tells the story of Armand Duval, a young man who falls in love with a courtesan, Marguerite. They begin a liaison, with Marguerite being a very famous and sought-after courtesan, and Armand being a young man of modest means. As he can not alone sustain his lover’s lavish expenses, she continues to take clients. It almost drives Armand mad with jealousy, and Marguerite, out of love for him, decides to quit her expensive lifestyle and retire with him to a countryside estate, while he plans to repay her debts with his dead mother’s inheritance. They live peacefully until Armand’s father appears. He writes a letter, asking for Armand to leave Marguerite, but he refuses. Armand’s father then secretly goes to see Marguerite and asks her to leave his son, and explains that if the two of them were to continue their relationship it would ruin Armand, he would be ridiculed and scorned by all, along with their family name and that Armand’s younger sister would never be able to marry the man she loves if her family’s name was tarnished as it would be.

Marguerite then leaves Armand, making him believe she has grown bored and had taken a new lover. Mad with jealousy and devoured by grief, he takes a lover himself as a revenge, behaving coldly and cruelly towards her at every social gatherings where they see each other.

Armand then asks her to come see him, and they end up falling into bed, after Armand mocks, taunts and finally begs her to come back to him, promising he would love and take care of her, no matter what. It’s a very sweet and passionate night. She leaves in the morning, and when he goes to see her in her home, he is informed that she is with one of his clients. In a fit of despairing agony and hate, he sends her some money with a note saying “here is last night’s fee”. After which she leaves for England.

Eventually, he receives a letter from her, where she explains that she has loved him and no other and that she had never betrayed him. It shows her immense devotion and love (one of my favorite lines roughly translated: “Everyday brought a new insult from you, which I received almost as a joy, for it was proof that you loved me still.”) However, the letter also explains that she has an incurable illness, and that she will soon be dead.

Armand rushes back as fast as he can, only to find her already dead, and all of her possession already being auctioned off. He finds letters she wrote him as she was slowly dying, where she shows her love for him, her final days, with bailiffs already emptying her house because of her debts and empty halls as no one would visit a dying courtesan. Her last letters were desperate pleas for him to come see her (“Oh! Come, come, Armand, I’m suffering unbearably, I am going to die, my God.”)

Armand sits through Marguerite’s belongings’ auction where he meets the narrator who bought a book Armand gave to Marguerite, and that Armand would like to buy back. Which results in Armand telling him the whole story.

[Thanks for reading this novel of a comment, I really recommend the book, “la dame aux camélias”:)]

The choreography is also artistically commendable. With it starting out with just the Argentinian and Nini, but as the song progresses, more men join and take Nini away. Representing how Satine is reluctantly giving her body to her clients. She misses Christian and tries in vain to cope by imagining that she is with Christian. Pining for his nurturing and comfort while she is ravaged by other men. While Christian can only observe helplessly.

I absolutely love the shit out of this scene. I do want to highlight something though. I love the vocals and the choreography, Jacek and Ewan sell the pain in their voices so well that they leave you breathless. The duke is downright terrifying and Satine's horror and fear can be practically tasted...but Caroline O’Connor deserves an award for her part. Every time I go through this scene, her little breaths as she is being tugged and pulled by dancers makes me stop breathing and just die.

The thing I absolutely love about this number, is that it, in itself, tells such a compelling story. Everything, from the lyrics, the choreography of the dance, the blocking of the actors, the swells of passion and diminuendos of affection in the music, every thing is meant to tell a story. On its own, it can be watched, understood, and enjoyed, simply from inferring from the context of everything in this scene. Baz Luhrmann did an incredibly job with directing this scene immaculately.

but this first "Roooooxaaaanne" is totally unforgettable.
I watched the movie like 12 years ago and still can't forget the whole scene becouse of the "argentinian".
so much of expression and such anguish in his voice... beautiful expressive singing.

I could be wrong but I just realized something in my multiple rewatchings of this clip: in the very end when the duke is about to assault Satine, he’s singing Christian’s counter-melody as he undressed her! But he stops at “feelings I can’t fight” instead of finishing the verse. I was shocked when I noticed this but I think it’s an interesting touch to the song because while the Duke is a terrible person, it shows how betrayed he felt and adds an even more sinister note to the overall scene

@martineshamzin7535

At the beginning of the movie, Christian is whisked into the Montmartre night life and is instantly fascinated. Then he meets Satine and he begins a fun and flirtatious love affair. But by this point in the movie, Christian is realizing that the feelings he has for Satine is not puppy love, but something stronger. He wants to trust her and he knows that what she is doing is all an act, but he can’t help but feel angry and jealous. The song perfectly describes his desire and his conflicting emotions. It’s bone chilling and intense.
