30th Anniversary Re-Release!

Baz Luhrmann’s maximalist vision of Shakespeare’s warring Capulets and Montagues trades medieval Italian Verona for California’s Verona Beach, exchanges swords for pistols, but keeps the Bard’s words intact. The result is one of the wildest adaptations of one of the world’s greatest love stories and a hyperkinetic ballet of bullets. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.
