Luhrmann was born in Sydney, Australia. His mother, Barbara Carmel (nA(C)e Brennan), was a ballroom dance teacher and dress shop owner, and his father, Leonard Luhrmann, was a farmer. He was raised in Herons Creek, a tiny rural settlement in northern New South Wales where his father ran a petrol station and a movie theatre. He attended St Joseph's Hasting Regional School, Port Macquarie (1975a??1978) and at St Paul's College, Manly, performing in the school's version of Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1.
Luhrmann first auditioned for the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in 1980 but was not accepted. He successfully auditioned again two years later, starting the three-year acting course in 1983. He graduated from NIDA in 1985, alongside Sonia Todd, Catherine McClements and Justin Monjo. On 26 January 1997, he wed Catherine Martin, a production designer; the couple has two children.
After theatrical successes, including the original stage version of Strictly Ballroom, Luhrmann moved into film and has directed five so far:
Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge! (2001) was named one of the AFI's top ten films of 2001 and was recently chosen as the top film of the 2000s decade in a poll of 150,000 respondents in the United Kingdom. The film also gave birth to a successful soundtrack album, selling more than seven million copies, led by the Grammy-winning number one hit single, "Lady Marmalade".
Before this, it was the modern film interpretation Romeo + Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes which defeated Titanic at the BAFTAs
