Parents Guide for
Moulin Rouge! (2001)

There are several passionate kisses. A woman grabs a man and pulls him down on top of her kissing him and wrapping her legs around him, and a woman jumps onto a bed and invites a man to join her. A woman moans and writhes with sexual pleasure on the floor. Several men dance the tango with a woman while kissing her neck and shoulders and touching her all over. A woman dances and caresses herself. A woman dances and flirts with her audience and ends up crawling on top of and wiggling her bottom at a man who is lying on the floor. A woman grabs a man's crotch, and a woman grabs a man's legs and separates them (he reacts as if he is aroused). A woman is seen a few times obviously nude but strategically covered by sheets so that only her shoulders and legs are shown. Men are seen shirtless in a few scenes while dancing onstage and in a bedroom scene. There are several night club and Can-Can dancing scenes which are chaotic, full of men and women dancing: The scenes include women dressed in Can-Can costumes which reveal cleavage and bloomers and barely covered buttocks when they kick their legs into the air. A woman is seen several times in tightly laced corset-type costumes that expose her cleavage and legs in stockings with garters. A woman changes her costume onstage exposing bare shoulders. A man puts one hand on a woman's breast and one on her crotch during a stage performance, and a man pretends to grab a woman's bottom. A gelatin salad is made to look like breasts and nipples. There is sexual innuendo in several scenes: a woman misunderstands a man who wants to read her poetry for his wanting to have sex with her; a woman reacts with surprise and delight -- presumably at a man's endowment -- when she unbuttons his pants; a bottle suggestively sprays champagne. There are discussions of courtesans (and being paid for sex), bordellos, and erotic dances.

A man grabs a woman violently, chases her and throws her to the floor and onto a bed after tearing off some of her clothing. A man shoots a gun at a man twice, and a man is threatened with a gun. A man knocks a man to the floor with a blow to the head; we see some blood trickle from the wound as it is being dressed. A man hits a man in the crotch. A man is punched in the face and dropped on a street; we see his bruised cheek. A man is punched in the face and falls back onto the ground, and a man is knocked out by a sandbag falling on his head. A woman coughs violently, gasping for air and spits out blood in several scenes; in one she is unconscious and receives a shot in the arm. A man falls through the ceiling of a man's apartment and dangles, unconscious, by his foot; another man falls from stage scaffolding, swings from a rope and slides across a stage. A woman falls unconscious from a high swing and is caught before she hits the floor. A woman imagines being violently tied to a bed. A man blows fire that nearly singes a man's hair. There are a few threats of violence (to kill a man, to destroy a dance club). A man sobs hysterically after a woman dies in his arms.

At least 1 use of "damn" as an exclamation.

There are a few sexual references, a racial slur and some name-calling.

We see Satine holding a cigarette in a long cigarette holder, while the Duke's henchman smokes a cigar and various miscellaneous characters also smoke in several scenes.

The Duke grabs Satine by her wrists and forces her to the floor. He then chases after her in his tower and it then appears that he's behind her, trying to rip off her clothes. He then pushes her down onto a bed, apparently ready to rape her, but a man from the play suddenly shows up and punches the Duke, rendering him unconscious.
