Although a deluxe two-disc set is available, this one-disc edition of Moulin Rouge will do for those who want just the film. This DVD boasts a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround, and a French soundtrack has also been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by director Baz Luhrmann and co-screenwriter Craig Pearce, and a second commentary track recorded by Luhrmann, costume director Catherine Martin, and cinematographer Donald McAlpine. A behind-the-scenes featurette rounds out this strong release.

Although the movie is fantastic, the fact of finally finding and owning it cannot be surpassed. I have searched for this DVD for two years, wanting to give it to my son for Christmas or a birthday, only to frustrated even by the largest retailer in the country. Now, to find it on BestBuy.com was like finding the lost city of Atlantis, or discovering alien lifeforms living next door. Okay, a little hyperbole is allowed, as my elation for being allowed to surprise my son with something even HE couldn't locate has had me walking six inches off the ground for days now. Best Buy has it ALL!
What's great about it: Superb singing and acting, impossible to find at other retailers
