MOULIN ROUGE! GREEN FAIRIES

One of my favourite scenes from the cult musical Moulin Rouge!
The male lead, brooding young writer Christian James (played by Ewan McGregor, my first love as both Christian and Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Phantom Menace), who had been waiting for ages for such an experience, downs his first glass of absinthe and has a series of excited hallucinations starring sexy green fairies. This is the experience of a young man baptized in the excitement of ethyl intoxication. Kylie Minogue plays the Green Fairies and Ozzy Osbourne does their laugh:







This is a gaslamp/flintlock fantasy Andersen style made in Germany, written by one Kattrin Kawinkel, about a young man who discovered a whole world in the bottom of a glass (sounds lovely and great for me, doesn't it?)
