Why 'Romeo And Juliet' With Leonardo DiCaprio Still Matters Today
Has Leonardo DiCaprio's youthful, raw portrayal of Romeo forever altered how we envision Shakespeare's ill-fated lover? Romeo and Juliet, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, isn't just a movie; it's a cultural phenomenon that has embedded itself into our collective memory, a cinematic touchstone for an entire generation.
In 1996, Baz Luhrmann unleashed his visually arresting and fiercely modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliet upon the world.
