Romeo + Juliet - BAZ Fest Red Curtain Trilogy Weekend (M)

In 1996, Baz Luhrmann's kaleidoscopic reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic, Romeo + Juliet, hit the big screen - and it was like nothing we’d seen before. A brash thrill ride set in a modern-day urban backdrop reverberating with pop music, gunfire and Shakespearian language, and at the centre of it all were two career-defining performances from a young Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes as the youthful star-crossed lovers.

Almost 30 years later, Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet is still as alive as ever.

The rivalry between Verona's two well-established families, the Capulets and the Montagues, affects the relationship of their children Romeo and Juliet.
