Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet


I watched this last night for the first time in a good few years. I forgot how much I loved Leo Di in this (now such a cliche for a 90s kid); it made me feel like a teenager all over again - ah the joys of rose tinted glasses. It's also quite odd to think that I've since spoken to this Juliet (and Angela Chase) I admired so much. Claire Danes was refreshingly down-to-earth and friendly, pottering around the Serpentine with her then fiancé (now husband) Hugh Dancy.
