The Moulin Rouge.
:03:23
A nightclub.
:03:28
A dancehall and a bordello...
:03:31
- The Moulin Rouge!
-ruled over by Harold Zidler.
:03:36
A kingdom
of night time pleasures,
:03:40
where the rich and powerful
came toplay with the young
and beautiful creatures...
:03:43
of the underworld.
:03:48
The most beautiful
of all these...
:03:51
was the woman I loved.
:03:54
Satine.
:03:56
A courtesan,
:03:57
she sold her love to men.
:04:01
They called her
"the sparkling diamond, "
:04:04
and she was the star...
:04:07
of the Moulin Rouge.
:04:23
The woman I loved...
:04:27
is...
:04:31
dead.
:04:36
- I first came to Paris...
:04:40
one year ago.
:04:46
It was 1899,
the summer of love.
:04:50
I knew nothing of the Moulin Rouge,
Harold Zidler...
:04:53
or Satine.
:04:55
The world had been swept up
in bohemian revolution,
:04:58
and I had traveled from London
to be a part of it.
