In director Baz Luhrmann’s contemporary take on William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, the Montagues and Capulets have moved their ongoing feud to the sweltering suburb of Verona Beach, where Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Juliet (Claire Danes) fall in love and secretly wed.

"It may be the most visually imaginative Shakespeare film since Akira Kurosawa's Ran, and certainly one of the more operatic Hollywood creations of recent years."
"Luhrmann's gleefully cinematic version of the play is so relentlessly inventive and innovative, it takes 20 minutes to get a grasp on how appropriate his approach is to the material."
This film is part of the Brief Encounters series.
