Harry Zidler

Harry Zidler is the owner of the Moulin Rouge. Or maybe he just runs it. Who knows. Moulin Rouge isn’t known for its logistics. What matters is that Harry is in charge and he makes all the decisions. He is also amazing because he is one of the most dramatic human beings of all time.

Everything is a production for him, even when he is sitting alone in his room he is putting on a show for no one in particular. And it makes him one of the best and most interesting characters of the entire movie.

Zidler just wants his theater to succeed. Whether that’s offering women to men at a price or putting on a production that Christian wrote, he just wants the Moulin Rouge to be the best it can be. Sometimes that makes his judgment a little cloudy but it isn’t his fault. Christian and Satine want to just be in love at whatever cost but the cost is basically Harry Zidler’s entire career and life so he isn’t too keen on letting them throw it all away for love.

But, in the end, he does what he has to for Satine and it truly shows how amazing he is.
