In director Baz Luhrmann's contemporary take on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, the Montagues and Capulets have moved their ongoing feud to the sweltering suburb of Verona Beach, where Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Juliet (Claire Danes) fall in love and secretly wed. Though the film is visually modern, the bard's dialogue remains.
Composer Craig Armstrong worked with Nellee Hooper and Marius de Vries to produce a 21st century score for a very modern Romeo and Juliet. Armstrong won a BAFTA and an Ivor Novello award for the score, a success he repeated in 2001 when he worked on Luhrmann’s second box office hit, the film musical Moulin Rouge!
Screening as part of our CineMasters: Craig Armstrong season in partnership with Sonica.
