William Shakespeare's Romeo + JulietIcon_movClass_M

1996, 115 minutes, Rated M

A brilliant and contemporary retelling of the world's most tragic love affair makes this wildly inventive "Romeo and Juliet" unforgettable. This special edition DVD contains audio commentary by Baz Luhrmann, early rehearsal scenes and inside look at the making of the movie.

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.
