Moviemaker Baz Luhrmann, born in Australia this day in 1962, usually elicits two responses from his audiences: they either walk out after five minutes or sit through it all and know every line by heart. Fast-motion photography, men in drag, soaring musical number--these are the Luhrmann trademarks, and what make the writer-director-producer as polarizing as many working in Hollywood today.
