Tagline: My only love sprung from my only hate.
Plot: This ambitious undertaking takes William Shakespeare's classic tale of star cross'd lovers and relates the story in a glossy music video style in modern day (1996) Florida. Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare Danes play the eponymous lovers kept apart by rival industrialist families. Bookended by newscastsers reciting Shakespeare's prose as their copy, this clever glam updating of ROMEO AND JULIET is one of the most unusual adaptations of the Bard's work in the history of cinema. The stylish and colorful sets earned the film an Oscar nomination for art direction. John Leguizamo gives a memorable performance as a devilish Tybalt.
