Movie

Romeo + Juliet

1996 · 120 min

A hyper-stylized, feverish rush of young love and violent feuds, bursting with music-video energy and operatic emotion.

Tagline: My only love sprung from my only hate.
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Romantic, tense, dark and campy. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Love, family, violence, fate
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
