Trailer & Synopsis
Baz Luhrmann slams Shakespeare’s most famous love story down in a punk futuristic setting where the Montagues and Capulets are feuding corporate empires on fictional Verona Beach.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes sizzle in Luhrmann’s second feature film (after Strictly Ballroom), which keeps Shakespeare’s original script and injects it with a kicking soundtrack and gritty modern visuals.
“Amid the clamour from outraged purists and Shakespeare spinning in his Stratford-upon-Avon, England grave, you should notice that Luhrmann and his two bright angels have shaken up a 400-year-old play without losing its touching, poetic innocence.” – Rolling Stone
