Above is a photo from Hello! (number 680, Sept 18th) of Richard, and family, arriving at the Moulin Rouge Premiere. Denise went to see the movie last night and her brief review of it is below.

“In Shakespeare’s day communication was mainly aural. Thus your average Elizabethan could absorb more words in a minute than his modern decedent. We live in a visual era and this film challenges our capacity to process images to the full. Visually it is stunning. Sit back and let the experience wash over you. The story is not complicated and the dialogue relies much on ‘the potency of cheap music’ (many popular songwriters coffers will be lined by this film), but it doesn’t matter. This is pure entertainment. Like champagne it may have lots of froth and no substance, but I love champagne occasionally. Spectacular! Spectacular!”

Denise says she’s still singing snatches of the lyrics from “Your song” – even though it’s a song she’s not normally that fond of.

Meanwhile Scullyx69 has sent another pic of Richard looking quite dapper which you can find here.
