Baz Luhrmann’s electrifying reimagining of William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet is bursting back onto the big screen at The Frida Cinema!
In this contemporary (to 1996, at least) 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.
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes at the height of ’90s stardom, Romeo + Juliet is a charming MTV-era style take on the timeless tragedy with a proper pop soundtrack and a love that burns eternal.
