Romeo & Juliet
Romeo & Juliet is a 2013 British film adaptation of William Shakespeare's romantic tragedy of the same name on DVD, directed by Carlo Carlei.
William Shakespeare’s epic and searing love story has been revitalised by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes (TV’s Downton Abbey, Gosford Park). Douglas Booth and Academy Award Nominee Hailee Steinfeld lead an extraordinary ensemble cast as Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers who fall for each other in spite of their feuding families. Filled with lush, enchanting imagery amid its original setting in Verona, Italy, this legendary tale of romance remains as timeless and as powerful as ever.
