Baz Luhrmann helped adapt this classic Shakespearean romantic tragedy for the screen, updating the setting to a post-modern city named Verona Beach. In this version, the Capulets and the Montagues are two rival gangs. Juliet (Claire Danes) is attending a costume ball thrown by her parents. Her father Fulgencio Capulet (Paul Sorvino) has arranged her marriage to the boorish Paris (Paul Rudd) as part of a strategic investment plan. Romeo attends the masked ball and he and Juliet fall in love.
“Director Baz Luhrmann's whirling dervish adaptation of the classic tale of "Romeo & Juliet" is replete with glowing surfaces, quick-cutting action, and a soundtrack that bites.” - Common Sense Media
Enchanted Cinema is back for its 7th-year of inner-city cinematic magic. We return this year to one of our favourite venues, The Gonville Hotel’s magical gardens. Just off Parkers Piece, our installation garden screen has moved to the rear hidden garden of the Gonville hotel, with beautiful intimacy, and we will be collaborating further with the hotel to offer a one of a kind experience with outdoor (and undercover) drinks and food in an upmarket setting. Come along to a private, enchanting cinema area just for our customers, where you will experience live music ahead of the screening.
Seating is not allocated so be sure to arrive in advance to choose your deckchair. We are a rain or shine event so if the Great British weather surprises us and the skies open, the show will go on!
Sit back in a deckchair, fresh popcorn and a drink in hand, and experience cinema as you never have before this summer…
