About the film
Romeo + Juliet at a glance.
Screen Path places this 1996 film at stop 456 in one curated journey through cinema. The learning experience adds context before you watch and deeper analysis after.
In this 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 and Juliet fall in love and secretly wed. Though the film is visually modern, the bard's dialogue remains.
