when love is for the highest bidder, there can be no trust. without trust, there is no love.

this is perhaps my favourite part in the whole of moulin rouge. it's called 'el tango de roxanne', or the tango of roxanne for the benefit of those who don't know spanish at all.

the growling of the argentinian, the sheer spectacularity of the choreography, the pain of christian, the lyrics, the music.

makes this one of the most powerful scenes in the enire film.
