Romeo + Juliet (1996) Directed by Baz Luhrmann. 2hrs. Rated PG-13.
Catch Romeo + Juliet—the hyper-kinetic Shakespearean romantic tragedy updated for a new generation, as part of ScreenPLAY!, a new series that invites kids, teens, and families of all ages into PAM CUT @ The Whitsell.
“Romeo + Juliet is one of pure feeling, a flame burning fast and clean. Movies are neither made nor received in a vacuum, and they have a life beyond what we can initially imagine for them. That’s why so many of today’s grown-ups who saw Romeo + Juliet as kids will never forget it. And that is how a play lives forever, reinvented again and again across the centuries, even as its bones and its heart remain intact.” – Time Magazine
