Baz Luhrmann’s update of Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes is a jaw-dropping, open-hearted masterpiece. Transporting the action to Verona Beach, California, its star-crossed tale of lovers falling for each other against the backdrop of a gang war is as timeless as ever – but shot through with a whole wave of ...
Before Baz Luhrmann came Stephen Sondheim, as Romeo and Julie gets the musical treatment. Here, Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer play the star-crossed lovers in 1950s New York, caught between two warring gangs. From the whip-smart direction and choreography and the script’s understanding of immigration in America to the ear-worming songs, Leonard Be...

Joss Whedon’s take on Shakespeare’s winning romantic comedy is a sparkling, bubbly affair. That’s mostly thanks to the fact that it’s filmed all in his own home, with a group of actors who regularly went over to his for readings. The result fizzes with natural chemistry and familiarity between every performer, while Whedonverse regulars Alexis Deni...
Stanley Tucci as a smouldering, playful Puck. Kevin Kline as a scene-stealing Bottom, investing his fool with both hysterical clumsiness and an unexpected pathos. Michael Hoffman’s Italy-set version of Shakespeare’s most whimsical comedy is studded with a gob-smacking cast, with Calista Flockhart, Anna Friel, Christian Bale and Dominic West playing...
Ethan Hawke brings a downbeat vibe to this compelling version of Shakespeare’s most famous play.
