I have the Moulin Rouge!'s soundtrack frequently playing in my car, so I admire Baz Luhrmann's creative use of music in his films. He's known for using contemporary music in his films set in retro setting, and this one is no different. NPR calls the Aussie filmmaker "...cinema's boldest remixer, infusing familiar works with new …
