Romeo + Juliet (1996) - 90's Shakespeare Adaptations Part 1
Update: 2020-09-13
Description
New month, new sub-genre! For September it's 90's Shakespeare Adaptations and we're kicking it off with Romeo + Juliet (1996) directed by Baz Luhrmann! Fair warning...the guys couldn't stay on topic to save their lives this week. Which will happen when the movie you talk about is the exact same as 10 other movies you've seen, but with a budget and actors that get paid a LOT more. What was Luhrmann trying to accomplish with this adaptation? Who looks better than they act and who somehow acts worse than they look? Jump on board for the "trainwreck" that is quintessential mid-90's garbage.
Next movie: Let the Devil Wear Black (1999) dir. Stacy Title
