Moulin Rouge - Opening
Section 1
Quote: Curtains open, C20 Fox logo and
music, conducted very energetically. Curtains then close
Explain: we expect some kind of theatrical production to appear on the stage
- not the C20 Fox logo. This rule-breaking continues throughout the film.
Its playfulness/teasing style is seen elsewhere - warning the audience to
expect the unexpected.
Music: the standard C20 Fox cinema fanfare - incongruous with what
is suggested by the plush red curtains and gold proscenium arch.
