Product: Romeo and Juliet [Region 2] (1968)
Rating: 5.0
A truly lovely movie with wonderful peformances
Olivia Hussy delivers a rendition of Juliet that is, at least for me and my friends, definitive. A truly remarkable artistic performance, especially considering her youth at the time the movie was made. Every nuance of her performance rings true and evokes something authentic in the human experience.The performance of the rest of the cast, and the loveliness of the setting and cinematography, and especially the music, linger in memory indefinitely.The film seems to evoke something of the age of Shakespeare, but it also speaks to the way things felt in the 1960's.Don't miss this one if you haven't seen it.
