Editorial Reviews

Moulin Rouge ranks among the best British-made films of the silent era, though it's essentially a German film produced in England. German film-critic-turned-director E. A. Dupont and German set designer Alfred Junge provide the film with its outstanding visual flair. The star is the Armenian-born Olga Tschechova; French actors Georges Tréville and Marcel Vibert have key supporting roles, as does German-born actress Ellen Pollock. The resulting film supplied London studios with an influx of talent. Junge, in particular, became a mainstay in the films of Michael Powell. As with much of Dupont's best work, the story is a sexually charged backstage melodrama, the kind which would all but vanish in the 1930s with the advent of the movie musical and increasingly restrictive censorship codes.
