A breakthrough in the film adaptation of ballet choreography! Directors Michael Nunn and William Trevitt (BalletBoyz) opted to shoot dance scenes in real exteriors, and thus while the story of Verona’s lovers is based on the original choreography, it takes place in real locations – in squares, markets, palaces, and tombs. The unique performances of the main stars Francesca Hayward and William Bracewell are one of the many highlights of this film. Since Zeffireli’s adaptation, there has been no better adaptation of the Shakespearean tragedy in world cinema.
