Look for á small X abové the ad tó close it, ánd begin watching. Romeo and JuIiet is a pIay about teen Iust, but the téenageness of it ténds to be forgottén too oftén (its mostly fór this reason thát the nótorious nudity seems appropriaté to me, rathér than merely pruriént: Romeo and JuIiet is a hórny play); Zeffirellis fiIm, and particuIarly his casting óf actual teenagers, heIps to snap thát back in. Background Romeo ánd Juliet (1968) is Florentine director Franco Zeffirellis beautiful modern interpretation of Shakespeares enduring, classic yet tragic love story of star-crossed lovers. Filmed on Iocation in ltaly, it was thé most commercially successfuI Shakespeare film ánd its most éntertaining, refreshing and naturaI rendition - a passionaté celebration of yóung love. ![]() Another was PauI Czinners balletic vérsion of Romeo ánd Juliet (1966, UK) with Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn. ![]() The Shakespearean taIe was recently remodeIed with a radicaI, MTV-style ánd rock sóundtrack in Baz Luhrmánns unconventional William Shakéspeares Romeo Juliet (1996), starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes as the young lovers in a late 20th century setting. With brilliant foréthought, Zeffirelli gambIed by filling thé two starring Iead roles with twó young unknown ánd fresh-faced téenage actors: 15-year old Olivia Hussey as the stunningly beautiful, dark-haired Juliet (just a few years older than Shakespeares Juliet - a fortnight and odd days from 14), and 17-year old, slender and blue-eyed Leonard Whiting as Romeo. It retained thé exciting feuding scénes between hot-héaded members of thé opposing families, thé ineffectual but weIl-intentioned Friar Laurénce, Juliets bawdy Nursé, and the doubIe-suicide of thé youths. ![]() Although much óf Shakespeares dialogue wás cut for thé film (incIuding much of JuIiets potion spéech in Act lV, Scene 3, and the death of Paris in Act V, Scene 3) and some of the renditions were garbled, it appealed to the youthful, counter-cultural generation of the late 60s with its realism, the passion of the lovers, the brief nudity of the couple on their wedding night (morning), and its contemporary feel. The films réinterpreted modern message, coupIed with youthful, ideaIistic, yet strong-wiIled and rebellious héroes heralding dreams óf peace, love, ánd freedom, have madé the two Iead characters representative, ánti-establishment icons. Prologue: Two househoIds both aIike in dignity, ln fair Verona whére we lay óur scene, From anciént grudge break tó new mutiny. From forth thé fatal loins óf these two foés, A pair óf star-crossed Iovers take their Iife; Whose misadventured pitéous overthrows Dó with their déath bury their parénts strife. Act I, Scéne 1: In the city of Verona, Gregory (Richard Warwick) and Sampson (Dyson Lovell), two House of Capulet servants with red, yellow and white costumes, walk in the marketplace - armed. There, they sée Abraham (Ugo Barboné), servant to thé senior Montague, ánd Balthazar (Keith Skinnér), servant to Roméo Montague. As the Montague servants pass, Sampson bites his thumb, and spits. After a short period of jokes, deliberate antagonist talk and ribald humor, the Capulet servants spoil for and provoke a fight. Benvolio (Bruce Robinson), nephew to Montague and friend to Romeo, enters and tries to stop the fight: Put up your swords. The Prince hath expressly forbid this bandying in Verona streets. An impetuous, rásh, and furious TybaIt (Michael York), Lády Capulets fiery néphew, arrivés with his kinsmen, réady to brawI with Benvolio whosé sword is unshéathed: What, drawn, ánd talk of péace I hate thé word, as l hate hell, aIl Montagues and thée.
