so is his _Strictly Ballroom_ he has only directed three films... well two
if you subscribe to the theory that _Moulin Rouge_ is just a music video
which I dont. Perhaps he made only one film if you think his _Romeo +
Juliet_ is ALMOST a music video.... which I dont.
I came away from all his films with a sense of pure enjoyment and
wonderment... esp his latest Music Video...um...er... film _Moulin Rouge_,
not sure what philosophies this film trashes, but it certainly made me want
to buy it for future viewings.
Perhaps when I become a underpaid, over worked, sour critic i may feel like
some of you that dont seem to get what a film is all about.... LOVED
_Vanilla Sky_ and I'm dont even have a PhD in Film... I even GOT it on the
first viewing, imagine that.
looking for my asbestos suit now....
