amazing

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2002)

This is one of the greatest films i have ever seen. The story of Romeo and Juliet, set in the modern age, with guns, drugs and fast cars, but still maintaining the rhymes and texts of the initial Shakesperean story. Bazz Luhrmann's brave concept is surprisingly good. It doesn't fall in the mistakes made by most classic stories adapted to the modern age. Di Caprio and Danes are perfect together, the filming and editing is also better than in most movies nowadays. Luhrmann has created a masterpiece. Vote: 9.5 out of 10.
