Product: Romeo and Juliet [Region 2] (1968)
Rating: 5.0
Romeo and Juliet directed by Franco Zeffirelli
The scenery, cinematography, and music all serve the story so well. If one is a little bothered by the fact the first part of the film is slow paced then be patient for the pace and drama appropriately intensify toward the middle of the film. The relatively unknown actors are perfect in their roles - even the minor characters are excellent and add so much to the overall effectiveness of the drama. I highly recommend seeing this one.
