Just as Kenji said, the film is set at the turn of the last century (1899-1900) in Paris, stars Ewan McGreggor and Nicole Kidman, and is a terrific love story.
The direction is very quick paced, fast editing, weird. But after the initial shock of the first twenty minutes you find the groove and a gorgeous film emerges where modern songs are adapted in a musical stage show fashion.
And on repeat viewings the first twenty minutes are just great, the confusion on first watching is because you need to get your head around the directing technique.
I'd recommend renting it.
