Question 10: Discuss the misè-en-scene in the film Moulin Rouge!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to Wikipedia, misè-en-scene in French literally means, "putting into the scene"; however in cinema term it refers to the positioning of the actors or actresses, lighting, setting, props, costumes, make-ups, acting, space and also time.
