Romeo + Juliet
In director Baz Luhrmann’s modern spin on William Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy, the Montagues and Capulets have transferred their continuing feud into the sweltering suburb of Verona Beach, in which Romeo and Juliet fall in love and covertly wed. Although the movie is visually contemporary, the bard’s conversation stays.
