She also suffered from a torn knee cartilage resulting from a fall during the "[[Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend]]" production song.<ref name="AFI" /> Kidman later stated in an interview with [[Graham Norton]] that she broke a rib while getting into a corset by tightening it as much as possible to achieve an 18-inch waist, and that she fell down the stairs while dancing in heels.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/movies/nicole-kidman-i-broke-my-rib-getting-into-corset-for-moulin-rouge/story-e6frfmvr-1227137677094|title= Nicole Kidman: 'I broke my rib getting into corset for Moulin Rouge'|website=[[news.com.au]]|publisher=[[News Corp Australia]]|date=28 November 2014|access-date=21 June 2021|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224173642/https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/movies/nicole-kidman-i-broke-my-rib-getting-into-corset-for-moulin-rouge/news-story/ae477d662653d4175af503456ec12356|archive-date=24 February 2021}}</ref> The production overran its shooting schedule and had to be out of the sound stages to make way for ''[[Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones]]'' (which also starred McGregor).

In the [[liner notes]] to the film's Special Edition DVD, Luhrmann writes that "[the] whole stylistic premise has been to decode what the Moulin Rouge was to the audiences of 1899 and express that same thrill and excitement in a way to which contemporary movie-goers can relate."<ref name=liner/> Both [[Roger Ebert]] and ''[[The New York Times]]'' compared the film's editing and cinematography to that of a music video and noted its visual homage to early [[Technicolor]] films.<ref name=Ebert>{{cite web|last=Ebert|first=Roger|author-link=Roger Ebert|title=Moulin Rouge|website=[[RogerEbert.com]]|date=1 June 2001|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/moulin-rouge-2001|access-date=8 February 2021|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130506044707/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/moulin-rouge-2001|archive-date=6 May 2013}}</ref><ref name=Mitchell />
