What Romeo + Juliet Is About
Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film keeps the text of the play and moves the events to a contemporary coastal city. The two families are drawn as armed gangs. The language stays as it was written. The film runs on fast cutting and pop music; the narrative announces the outcome at the start and draws its tension from inevitability. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes lead. Filming took place in Mexico. The images are deliberately overloaded. Who it's for: those who like bold adaptations of classic texts. Who it's not for: viewers expecting a quiet period film; this one is very loud.
