In 1890 Paris, crowds flock to the Moulin Rouge nightclub as artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec finishes a bottle of cognac while sketching the club's dancers. The club's regulars arrive: singer Jane Avril charmingly teases Henri, dancers La Goulue and Aicha fight, and owner Maurice Joyant offers Henri free drinks for a month in exchange for painting a promotional poster. At closing time, Henri waits for the crowd to disperse before standing to reveal his four-foot-six-inch stature. A flashback reveals that as a child, Henri fell down a flight of stairs and injured his legs, which never healed properly due to a genetic disorder (his aristocratic parents were first cousins), leading to to devote himself to art.
Returning home to his apartment in Montmartre, he meets street walker Marie Charlet and helps her escape police arrest. Henri is impressed that Marie notices his disability without judgment, and he allows her to stay with him. Little by little, he realizes that poverty made Marie cruel but also freed her from the hypocrisy of society. He adores her, but Marie takes advantage of him; one night, after staying out all evening, Henri waits for her to return and angrily tells her to leave, and although they reconcile, Henri remains suspicious of Marie. When Marie insults Henri's portrait of her, he dumps her and sinks so deeply into alcoholism that his owner notifies his mother, who suggests he find Marie to dispel his depression. Henri finds Marie in a café, drunk and distraught. Marie reveals that she stayed with Henri simply to save money for her boyfriend, who has now left her. Henri returns to his apartment determined to commit suicide, lighting the gas. While waiting to asphyxiate, he is suddenly inspired to finish the Moulin Rouge poster for Maurice. Having survived his crisis, he secretly arranges to give Marie enough money for a new life.
The next day, Henri takes the poster to the dance hall and, although the style is unusual, Maurice accepts it. This leads to more and more success, but a racy portrait prompts Henri's father to denounce his work as "pornographic." Despite this, Henri continues to depict Parisian nightlife, which earns him rivalries and criticism. fame but no real friends One morning, he sees a young woman standing on the edge of the Alexandre III bridge on the Seine, thinking that she might be suicidal, he stops to talk to her. not going to jump and throws a key in the water A few days later, Jane Avril goes shopping with Henri, where the young woman from the bridge models dresses in a clothing store. She is Myriamme, Jane's friend. , unlike Jane, lives on her own income and not the patronage of wealthy lovers Myriamme is a great admirer of Henri's paintings, and Henri is shocked to discover that she bought Marie Charlet's portrait years before in a shop. flea market She reveals that the key she threw in the water belonged to a rich suitor, Marcel de la Voisier, who asked her to be his mistress but not his wife. As Henri continues to bitterly denounce true love as an illusion, he falls in love with Myriamme. One night, the two see dancer La Goulue on the street, stranded, drunkenly insisting that she was once a star, which makes Henri realize that the Moulin Rouge is now respectable and no longer caters to bohemians and the misfits.
Myriamme informs Henri that Marcel finally asked her to marry him. Henri, certain that she loves the most handsome man, congratulates her warmly for having trapped Marcel. Myriamme asks Henri if he loves her, but, believing that she is only trying to spare his feelings, he lies and tells her that he does not love her. The next day, Henri receives a letter from Myriamme telling him that she loves him, not Marcel, but she believes that Henri's bitterness over Marie has poisoned any chance for them to be happy together. He rushes to Myriamme's apartment, but she has already left.
A year later, drunk in a dive bar, Henri still obsessively reads Myriamme's note. He is taken home, where delirium tremens causes him to hallucinate cockroaches, and while trying to chase them away, Henri falls down a staircase. Henri is brought to his family's castle but his condition worsens; on his deathbed, Henri's father reveals that Henri will be the first living artist to be shown at the Louvre. Henri's father asks for forgiveness. In his final moments, Henri sees visions of characters from his Moulin Rouge paintings, including Jane Avril, dancing happily in his room.
