Romeo + Juliet (1996)

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1929 movies items)

" Part of the Shakespeare trend of movies, Romeo + Juliet (Sorry, William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet), the Baz Luhrmann film ended up becoming a big hit, and critical hit, and audiences thought it was great, too. If anything, it catapulted Leonardo DiCaprio, into teen hunkdom, something he would try to get away from in the later 90’s, because he was uncomfortable with, and Claire Danes, into a sought after actress. There was also it’s hit soundtrack, it’s contemporary setting and use"

"Una versión de Romeo y Julieta con mafiosos de GTA, por lo excéntrica y ridícula podría ser una buena parodia si no se tomara en serio. Su mala dirección tampoco la hace destacar. Para ver una versión de Romeo y Julieta con criminales es mejor ver West Side Story (1961) que supera a esta y a su propio remake. "

1996 Awardie Awards (51 movies items)

"Other nominations Best Production Design Best Musical or Comedic Film "

“Now I like Baz Luhrmann, I loved Moulin Rouge! and Australia was a much better film than people give credit for. However, I was disappointed with this version of Romeo and Juliet. I really liked the 1968 film with Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey though that did have one or two problems.

Starting with the redeeming qualities, the film does look amazing. The cinematography is beautiful and the scenery is gorgeous. I also liked how the Capulet party was staged, all grand and lavish and Claire Danes's white swan dress was stunning. Harold Perrineau was perfect as Mercutio yes the singing wasn't great but it was for comedy, and Pete Postlethwaite was a noble and sympathetic Friar Lawrence. Miriam Margoyles is a fine actress and brought a real sense of maternal instinct to the role o” read more

Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era (489 movies items)

"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: The film started off jittery on the rating card an on the first four seconds of the Fox logo, but the rest of the film was stable. Second reel was the scratchiest when Juliet is first seen in the mansion, changeovers are dirty and often abruptly cut off a second or two of film. A few frames of the lovers in the pool experienced a horizontal spice followed by a quarter-second of loud volume. Other than that, though! DATE: June 7th 2021 CINEMA: The Princ"
