Many fans commented under the post, writing about their favorite scenes and quotes from the movie.
The film, also starring Ewan McGregor, premiered in 2001 at the Cannes Film Festival and was later nominated for eight Oscars at the 74th Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Kidman’s role.
Last week, the film’s director, Baz Luhrmann, also shared several posts ahead of the milestone anniversary, giving an inside look at the creative process that brought the movie to life.
He ended his tribute with a nod to Moulin Rouge! The Musical, which is coming back to Broadway on September 24.
In March, Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliott, Mýa, Pink, and Lil’ Kim celebrated 20 years of their cover of “Lady Marmalade,” the first single on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack.
Elliott, 49, posted the music video on Twitter, calling it “one of the biggest collabs in history.” Mýa, 41, followed up with some photos and behind-the-scenes footage from the iconic video while Aguilera, 40, spoke to Cosmopolitan for the anniversary to discuss the empowering concept.
“I think we all brought something unique to the table,” she said. “The message was awesome, because every woman wants to feel good in their own skin. Every woman wants to own their sexuality—whether you want to put on a corset or not.”
