Shakespeare in a Speeding Convertible: Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet

We dive into Baz Luhrmann’s wild, neon-lit reimagining of Romeo + Juliet — the film that mashed Shakespearean tragedy with 90s MTV chaos. From Claire Danes’ standout Juliet to Mercutio’s drag number, we explore what works, what doesn’t, and why this version still sparks debate. Buckle up for a love story told at 100mph.
