Private Romeo

Love blossoms between two military cadets in a recasting of Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet". A dynamite ensemble of young actors recite exclusively the Bard's original poetry. Incorporating the original text of Romeo and Juliet, YouTube videos, and lip-synced indie rock music, PRIVATE ROMEO takes us to a mysterious and tender place that only Shakespeare could have inspired. “Brave, controversial... hugely adventurous and highly liberated movie.... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!” – Rex Reed, THE NEW YORK OBSERVER
