Review

 

Baz Luhrmann's dazzling and unconventional adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic love story is spellbinding. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes portray Romeo and Juliet, the youthful star-crossed lovers of the past. But the setting has been moved from its Elizabethan origins to the futuristic urban backdrop of Verona beach.

This brilliant and contemporary retelling of the world's most tragic love affair makes this wildly inventive Romeo & Juliet unforgettable.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars enormously powerful

very overwhelming from the start until the end. and in between a great traditional love story told in an untraditional way: very flashy, very kitschy, very up tempo but with the original textphrases... witch produces an ingeneous result.
once you get used to the original phrasing, and together with the very strong soundrack (wich stands perfectly well on its one on cd!) this movie carries on like a rollercoaster.
be my guest: watch it and you'll love it.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars brilliant update to the story
