Romeo + Juliet

Name: Romeo + Juliet
Released: 1996-11-01

1996· PG-13· 2h 0m· Drama· Romance

“My only love sprung from my only hate.”

Filmed in the sweltering suburbs of contemporary Verona Beach, Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" relocates Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers to a neon-lit, violence-riddled present. Amidst a feud between the Montague and Capulet clans, Romeo and Juliet find fleeting, doomed romance. Luhrmann's visual style is a jarring juxtaposition of Elizabethan eloquence and urban chaos, embedding the Bard's timeless words within a world of sleek cars, gunplay, and MTV aesthetics.
