William Shakespeare
Plot
Shakespeare's tragedy transposed to a modern gang-ridden Verona Beach, with the original verse spoken by the actors.
Sinekatalog’s take
Baz Luhrmann sets Shakespeare's original words in a neon-soaked modern city. It is flashy, young and wildly romantic, and the contrast of old verse and gunfights is oddly electric.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
