Romeo + Juliet
“My only love sprung from my only hate.”
DramaRomance
In this 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 and Juliet fall in love and secretly wed. Though the film is visually modern, the bard's dialogue remains.
VIBE
This is a whirlwind of vibrant, youthful energy and devastating romance. It feels like a fever dream, bursting with stylized chaos and an intoxicating, almost operatic intensity. The emotional highs are exhilarating, the lows profoundly tragic, all wrapped in a dazzling, anachronistic package.
