Episode 285: Moulin Rouge!

This week on Drink the Movies, we are heading to the dazzling, Bohemian underworld of Montmartre to celebrate Baz Luhrmann’s electrifying musical masterpiece, Moulin Rouge! We will break down the breathless, anachronistic pop soundtrack, the tragic romance of Christian and Satine, and the sheer visual spectacle of a club where truth, beauty, freedom, and love reign supreme. To toast to the glittering lights and spectacular romance of the Parisian stage, we are serving up a sparkling, elegant cocktail featuring Fleur Charmante and champagne called the Moulin Rouge. Dim the lights, step into the elephant, and join us as we raise a glass to the greatest show on earth!
