This version of 'Romeo and Juliet' is a worthy watch, particularly for students studying the play. It puts the play in a new light, from paper to television. It's fairly true to the story as well and is probably the best example of Shakespeare's play on film. The cinematography and costume design is captured well on the screen, and the soundtrack is also beautiful. The theme music from this film is one of the most enchanting and romantic pieces of music to have ever been created. Romeo is also quite good-looking, so that helps out a lot. There is one nudity scene, and I particularly remember this because our teacher (Freshman in High School) turned the television around and forwarded through this.
