Common Sense Note Parents need to know that this film features a considerable amount of blood, violence, and explicit references to sex. Prostitution, brief nudity, teen sex, gang-related deaths, car assaults, bloody fistfights, and a gangster pointing a pistol directly at a child's face, makes this film inappropriate for kids under the age of 17. There's a strong emphasis on guns that can easily be seen as glamorization: characters sport decorated pistols and fashionably threatening jewelry (skull rings, dagger belts), not to mention an ad for bullets. Background scenery makes much use of billboards, posters, and license plates designed to mimic soda, liquor, and cigarette ads. Sexual Content Frank and demonstrative sexual humor and innuendo, Romeo and Juliet share more than a couple of passionate kisses. Violence Bloody gangster-style shoot-outs, gun-play, car assaults, murder, and suicide. Language Dialogue is classic, expletive-free Shakespeare.

Social Behavior The violence of this adaptation does an excellent job of obscuring the message of peace at the root of the story. Consumerism Heavy simulations of brand names and products. Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol Smoking, drinking. A priest imbibes unspecified experimental potions. Romeo swallows a tablet of Ecstasy.

Why It’s Important A story as archetypal as Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet demands adaptations. Each generation gets its own Romeo and Juliet, just as Shakespeare himself adapted his original play from an Italian novella and a long tradition of tragic romances before it. Australian director Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film, Romeo + Juliet, is neither the most recent nor – by any stretch – the most faithful adaptation of the play, but it is arguably the most successful. With a contemporary setting, soundtrack and a hot young cast led by Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, Luhrmann’s second feature captured the attention of audiences, grossing roughly $150 million internationally. The critical reaction was mixed. America’s pre-eminent film critic,, gave it two out of four stars, lamenting “the desperation with which it tries to 'update' the play and make it “relevant””.

Australia’s chief critics were significantly more enthusiastic; on The Movie Show (see below), Margaret Pomeranz described the film as “simply stupendous”; David Stratton called it “a tremendously bold vision.” Each warranted it worthy of five stars. Alongside such pockets of critical praise came awards recognition: a Silver Bear for DiCaprio and an Alfred Bauer Prize for Luhrmann at Berlinale; a BAFTA Award for Best Director; Academy Award nominations for Best Art Direction and Best Set Direction for Catherine Martin and Brigitte Broch. Watch The Movie Show original ★★★★★ review of Romeo + Juliet. Perhaps most importantly, Romeo + Juliet remains an accessible and exhilarating adaptation almost two decades on.

Its hyper-stylised contemporary setting – as a “hybrid of Miami and Brazil” – and kinetic cinematography - regularly characterised as “MTV-style filmmaking” – has aged remarkably well unlike much of that era’s pop culture. The film’s aggressively untraditional approach holds true to the populist spirit of the Bard, if not to the letter. Luhrmann’s intent was, in his own words, to tell “a Shakespearean story the way Shakespeare would have presented the material when he was at the Globe Theatre.” The dizzying blend of comedy, tragedy, romance and action – not to mention an extravagant style paying homage to Spaghetti Westerns, musicals, gang movies and melodrama in roughly equal measure – arguably hews closer to Shakespeare’s works than more classical approaches. 'The film’s aggressively untraditional approach holds true to the populist spirit of the Bard, if not to the letter.' What It’s Really About The Standard Stuff It’s critical to note that, for all the boldness of this adaptation, Luhrmann’s film is still fundamentally Romeo and Juliet. The play’s original dialogue – iambic pentameter and all – is retained, mostly word-for-word, although naturally large swathes are omitted to accommodate a two-hour running time. This is still a story about the impetuousness of young love; about the purity, the tragedy, the violence of love.
