I should have had the role in Moulin Rouge!

Set in Paris, 1936, this award-winning movie focuses on life around a struggling theatre. After being closed due to non-payment of rent, three members of the troupe decide to stage a spectacular musical anyway. Luckily for them a talented young woman joins them, and together, they bring the house down in grand style. In French with English subtitles.
