In 1989, Minogue starred in The Delinquents, which told the story of a young girl growing up in Australia during the late 1950s. Its release coincided with her popularity in Neighbours, and while both the film and Minogue's performance were the subject of derisive comments by critics, it was a commercial success. She appeared as "Cammy" in the action film Street Fighter (1994), based on the video game series of the same name. The film did nothing to further her acting career, was dismissed by fans of the game, and received poor reviews by critics, with The Washington Posts Richard Harrington calling her "the worst actress in the English-speaking world". http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/streetfighterpg13harrington_a0ad15.htm Subsequent films such as Bio-Dome (1994), Sample People and Cut (both 2000) failed to attract an audience.
Australian film director Baz Luhrmann, impressed by her Intimate and Live tour, cast Minogue in Moulin Rouge! (2001) where she played the part of Absinthe, the Green Fairy, singing a line from The Sound of Music. This cameo remains her most widely seen film performance. In 2004 she provided the voice of "Florence" in a film based on The Magic Roundabout.
