The Scene: The insider's guide to the world's coolest cities.
Director Baz Luhrmann creates stunning visual feasts, from the red-hot pasa double of "Strictly Ballroom" to the whirling theatrical extravaganza, "Moulin Rouge" - and he's now making an epic starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman.
Baz Luhrmann: Sydney is like an arrogant lover. When it rains it can deny you its love. But when the sun comes out, it bats its eyelids, it's glamorous, beautiful, attractive, smart, and it's very hard to get away from its magnetic pull.
The Scene heads to Sydney to meet Baz Luhrmann, director of "Moulin Rouge", "Romeo + Juliet" and "Strictly Ballroom." We hang out at the beach, visit the House of Iona, have coffee in bohemian Darlinghurst and find out why Australia is the inspiration for his latest movie.
"If Paris is the city of lights, Sydney is the city of fireworks."
