CGiii Comment

Few directors can boast such a success - making Shakespeare relevant [again], making Shakespeare for the MTV-ers and succeeding.

Oooh the traditionalists will squirm - let them writhe in their own exclusivity.

Luhrmann deserves a mighty pat on his back.

The(ir) Blurb...

The classic story of Romeo and Juliet, set in a modern-day city of Verona Beach. The Montagues and Capulets are two feuding families, whose children meet and fall in love. They have to hide their love from the world because they know that their parents will not allow them to be together. There are obstacles on the way, like Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, and Romeo's friend Mercutio, and many fights. But although it is set in modern times, it is still the same timeless story of the "star crossed lovers".
