Romeo & Juliet - Special Edition

 [M 15+]
Romeo leads the thug life, Juliet packs a semiautomatic, and the Bard gets a taste of Pulp Fiction - it's pure calculation, and it works." - Rolling Stone   

A brilliant and contemporary retelling of the world's most tragic love affair makes this wildly inventive "Romeo & Juliet" unforgettable. This special edition DVD contains audio commentary by Baz Luhrmann, early rehearsal scenes and an inside look at teh making of the movie.
Baz Luhrmann's dazzling adn unconventional adaption of William Shakespeare's classic love story is spellbinding. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes portray Romeo adn Juliet, the youthful star-crossed lovers of the past, but the setting has been moved from it's Elizabethan origins to teh futuristic urban backdrop of Verona Beach.
