Romeo & Juliet

• Romance
• Drama

In a Verona steeped in ancient animosity, this adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy unfolds with a deliberately fractured narrative, beginning not with the lovers’ first meeting, but with the inevitable, heartbreaking conclusion. This reframing casts a haunting shadow over the burgeoning romance between Romeo and Juliet, transforming their stolen moments into desperate attempts to defy a predetermined fate. The film emphasizes the suffocating weight of societal expectations and the impulsive passions of youth, portraying the family feud not as grand conflict, but as senseless, cyclical violence. What emerges is a visceral, almost claustrophobic portrait of forbidden desire and the crushing power of grief, a story less about star-crossed love and more about the tragic consequences of unyielding hatred.
