Product: Romeo and Juliet [Region 2] (1968)
Rating: 5.0
The best of the film versions
Even with a few 70's haircuts and the occasional turtleneck, this film DEFINITELY shines as the most true to Shakespeare's original play. Stunning in on location staging and supurb acting, the film makes you feel as if you are actually there with the characters. Excellent casting. The gangs of boys are sufficiently hooliganish that you can anticipate the tragedies before they occur. You almost feel the love growing betweem Romeo and sweet Juliet. Overall a fabulous love tragedy.
