Baz Luhrmann's dazzling and unconventional adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic love story is spellbinding. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes portray Romeo and Juliet, the youthful star-crossed lovers of the past. But the setting has been moved from its Elizabethan origins to the futuristic urban backdrop of Verona Beach. This brilliant and contemporary retelling of the worlds' most tragic love affair makes this wildly inventive "Romeo and Juliet" unforgettable. (official distributor synopsis)
