The Null Device

Baz Luhrmann talks about his new film, Moulin Rouge:
"Now, through research, we know it's a fact: (1) Montmartre was Bangkok - a slum/sex industry. (2) Moulin Rouge was Studio 54. ... It was a Disneyland of sexuality, a carnival of flesh for sale. Combination: theatre, dance-club, brothel. Now, that's a fairly serious theme, but we want to deal with it in a disarming, fun way. So we're musicalising it. And the musical contract is: how do we understand that da-da da-da-da-da da-da (he sings the famous Offenbach can-can tune) was the most hard-core techno of the time?"
