"Romeo and Juliet": The Movie.
Lorenz, Sarah L.
English Journal, v87 n3 p50-51 Mar 1998
Argues that the 1996 film of "Romeo and Juliet" (starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Claire Danes, and transposed to inner-city gang culture) is a gripping presentation of Shakespeare's story of star-crossed lovers in an impulsive, hot-headed, violent world. Suggests that the film is practically guaranteed to make students love Shakespeare. (SR)
