About
This screening of Romeo + Juliet will be presented in 35mm.
Baz Luhrmann's ostentatious style rockets the lovers of Verona into the 20th Century in this beloved adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. While Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes may be doomed as the ill-fated couple on different sides of an interfamily conflict, the film buzzes with life and colour – with the stylised MTV-esque visuals are complemented brilliantly by an iconic '90s soundtrack. There are certain films that come to define a generation and the years have made it clear that Romeo + Juliet is one of those movies.
