This week on Friday Flix, we dive into Baz Luhrmann’s bold and unforgettable adaptation of Romeo + Juliet. From the vibrant visuals and modernized Verona Beach setting to the unforgettable performances by Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, this 90s reimagining of Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy has left a lasting impact on cinema. Join us as we discuss the film’s unique style, its cultural significance in the 90s, and how it brought Shakespeare to a new generation. We’ll also explore the epic soundtrack, behind-the-scenes trivia, and debate whether the film’s modern twists stand the test of time. Plus, we tackle the big question: does this Romeo and Juliet still capture the heart of the Bard’s original masterpiece?
