Romeo + Juliet (1996)

Baz Luhrmann is incredible. I've now seen all three of the movies in his Red Curtain trilogy and while I wasn't *crazy* about Strictly Ballroom, I loved the other two. This was a fascinating thing to try and while it didn't ALWAYS work (thus the 4-star rating) it did most of the time. Some truly beautiful moments in here playing with language and visuals and doing all sorts of interesting things. Great version of a classic story. 4 stars.
