In this contemporary 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.
Romeo + Juliet is Baz Luhrmann's 1996 reimagining of Shakespeare's classic tragedy, transposing the Montague-Capulet feud to modern-day Verona Beach while preserving the original dialogue. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes as the star-crossed lovers whose secret marriage ignites a cascade of violence between rival families.
