Monday Matinee: Romeo + Juliet

USA 1996 | 120 mins | Cert: 12 | Director: Baz Luhrmann

Brilliantly re-imagined by visionary director Baz Luhrmann, William Shakespeare’s tragedy of the original star-crossed lovers is given a modern twist. Set in Verona Beach, the Montague and Capulet families’ feuding has spilled into the streets. When Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) crashes a Capulet fancy-dress party, he sets eyes on Juliet (Claire Danes) and their fateful tale of doomed young love is set into motion.
