Is the novel "Moulin Rouge" fact or fiction?

Presuming you mean the work by Pierre LaMure, it is based on fact. But, like most biographical novels it embroiders, edits, contracts, and creates for dramatic effect. It isn't as far-fetched as 'The Agony and the Ecstasy’, but you must not take it as a factual biography of Toulouse-Lautrec. For comparison I suggest ‘Toulouse-Lautrec, a Life’ by Julia Frey (bit of a tough read, but the best bio) and ‘Toulouse-Lautrec, the Soul of Montmartre’ by Reinhold Heller (shorter, with better pictures). A good history of the club is ‘The Moulin Rouge’ by Jacques Plessis et al. Feb 05 05, 3:49 AM

The song that won an Oscar in 1946, is it based on fact or fiction and, if fact, can someone provide the details? In 'Pulp Fiction' what is the one fact that we learn about Jules' girlfriend?
