fabulous adaptation.

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2005)

Luhamann's adaptation of romeo and Juliet was by far the best i have ever come across. It was modern and contemporary, but still kept the original text, which was absolutely genius. The film was dramatic, extravagant, romantic, and stunning. and happens to be one of my favourites of all time, and truly made me think of Shakespeare in a different light.
Mercutio was absolutely fabulous, charismatic, and his flamboyant clothes represented his personality spot on.
The ending however, was slightly surprising, as Juliet used a gun instead of a sword to take her life. However, an incredible film, which is well worth taking a look at.
