has anyone seen this film? I have just seen it, and I really don't like it. what is your opinion? I feel it is frugal...-is this the right word?

 

[Zak Forsman]

which one? zeffirelli's or luhrmann's? i wouldn't think the more recent version could be described as the more convervative or sparing or frugal of the two.

 

[Bsmith]

I like Luhrmanns version. I own it actually. I love the style of it.

well, the new ONE. luhrmann's

I've only seen Zeffirelli's version and I loved it.

it's the problem with trendy movies. it looks like the 90's Vogue magazine vision of shakespeare work. when it was released i think people like it, but if you're looking at it now for the first time it's a bit ridiculous. let's have a look at marie antoinette in 3 years

I love the Luhrmann version -- but I was in high school when it came out and have watched it off and on for the past 10 or so years... and I like all of Luhrmann's work really.

On another Shakespearean note I really like Branagh's "Much Ado About Nothing"
