Thanks to the considerable talents and charm of the great Maurice Chevalier and the brilliant Leslie Caron. I'd call it a great film but not a classic. It's not Minelli's best but that still makes it better than most.
I think it can be call a " classic " even it is almost forgot in the limbo.......It has the quality anyway...
Definitely not the worst. When something is really bad, it becomes a curiosity worth seeing (try the Village People in "Can't Stop the Music"); Moulin does not rise to the level of "so bad that it's good."
Nicole Kidman couldn't save that movie. Made me feel old, too (I was forty-two when I saw it).MTV Generation must have loved it - based on box office and AA nomination.
...its overall sensibility seemed to have huge appeal, for example, to fans of the quartet who sang the "Lady Marmalade" redux theme (can't remember all their names, but including C. Aguilera)--mostly teens and twenty-somethings--but as a film, it was a mish-mash of styles that was too post-modern and "meta" for its own good, in my not-so-humble opinion. Even the much-vaunted special effects were overrated.Give me Julie Andrews any day.
What is the worst ?... I would say among them...belong " Moulin " it is really THAT bad...it is an nightmare.
