Romeo + Juliet

Two teenagers, meet at a party, fall in love and decide to get married. But will it be a happy ending?

Shakespeare for the MTV generation with the fast and furious Romeo + Juliet from Baz Luhrmann. Transforming the Montagues and Capulets into contemporary LA gangs, wielding guns instead of daggers with the pace and style of a music video and pure Shakespearean dialogue.
