brilliant combination of the past and the present

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 1999)

The combination of adherence to the original text, and placement in a contemporary setting, shows us that feelings, and therefore people, four hundred years ago are much the same as they are today. Verona becomes Verona Beach and two ages merge seamlessly together. It shows you how near such distance can be. The characters are totally believable as we witness their love and their hate.
