Lemme ask you a question: Are you team Montague or team Capulet?
Join the Dead Beat Film Society as we discuss Shakespeare in high school, Baz Luhrmann, a beautiful young Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Danes, those who are good and bad at the old time language, the unforgettable visual style, the best characters: Tybalt & Mercutio, the iconic soundtrack, the Shakespeare remake boom of the 90's, the queerness of the performances and visuals, the costumes, question the impact of such an overplayed plot, and Roger Ebert vs. punk.
Now draw thine sword for an in depth Romeo + Juliet film analysis!
