: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.
:05:01
On the hill near Paris
was the village of Montmartre.
:05:05
- It was not, as my father had said--
- A village of sin!
:05:09
But the center
of the bohemian world.
:05:11
- " Of the revolution "
- Musicians, painters, writers.
:05:14
They were known as
"the children of the revolution. "
:05:25
and that which I believed in
above all things--love.
:05:28
Always this ridiculous
obsession with love!
:05:32
There was only one problem--
I'd never been in love.
:05:36
- Luckily, right at that moment,
:05:38
an unconscious Argentinean
fell through my roof.
:05:44
He was quickly joined
by a dwarf dressed as a nun.
:05:47
How do you do?
:05:49
My name is Henri Marie Raymond
Toulouse-Lautrec Monfa.
:05:54
- What?
- I'm terribly sorry about all this.
:05:56
- We were just upstairs
rehearsing a play.
- What?
:05:58
A play, something very modern
called Spectacular Spectacular.
