synopsis
Verona Beach. Les Montaigu et les Capulet nourrissent une spirale de violence… jusqu’à ce que Roméo et Juliette tombent amoureux. Avec une énergie folle et une esthétique flamboyante, Baz Luhrmann réinvente Shakespeare dans un spectacle aussi moderne que romantique, porté par le duo mythique Leonardo DiCaprio et Claire Danes.
Amid the clamor from outraged purists and Shakespeare spinning in his Stratford-on-Avon, England, grave, you should notice that Luhrmann and his two bright angels have shaken up a 400-year-old play without losing its touching, poetic innocence.
Rolling Stone
Luhrmann’s gleefully cinematic version of the play is so relentlessly inventive and innovative, it takes 20 minutes to get a grasp on how appropriate his approach to the material is. Bravely (but sensibly) sticking with the original dialogue, he makes the central element of his audacious adaptation sheer visual : as the camera races wildly around, or rests on luminous close-ups and ornate tableaux, the striking sets, costumes, characters, the colours and compositions serve perfectly to evoke the forces of wealth and poverty, love and hate, power and pride, prejudice and superstition.
