Reviews

**Another fine adaptation of the Bard's masterpiece.** William Shakespeare is an author of all time. Everyone knows him, everyone considers him, even those who don't speak native English. It is a universal heritage, and “Romeo and Juliet” is his most important work. There is no end to the number of film adaptations: basically, “Romeo and Juliet” has been adapted to film for as long as cinema ha

The location photography and the beautiful score from Nino Rota help make this, for my money, the best screen adaptation of this most tragic of Shakesperian tragedies. Add to those classic elements, a really strong cast that mixes new blood with those more experienced and we get a properly heart-rending iteration. The constantly feuding "Montague" and "Capulet" families dominate society in Verona.
