By: debbie lynn elias<\/strong><\/p>\n

With well over 150 adaptations and imaginations of what is perhaps Shakespeare\u2019s most famous, and definitely most adapted, work on screen, director Carlo Carlei\u2019s new ROMEO & JULIET is, in a word, masterful.\u00a0 Bringing the grandeur and majesty of Shakespeare and the legendary story of star-crossed love to life in this luminous version is nothing short of golden – – as in Oscar gold.<\/p>\n

\"rj<\/p>\n

Having seen well over 100 incarnations of the story, including shorts that showcase only specific scenes, this ROMEO & JULIET is by far my personal favorite presentation, surpassing the acclaimed 1968 Zeffirelli version as well as George Cukor\u2019s 1936 take starring Norma Shearer as Juliet.\u00a0 One of my fave shorts is the 1908 Italian version done by Mario Caserini while the first attempt at adapting the entire play for film in 1911 by director Barry O\u2019Neill is a valiant effort that falls flat, leading one to prefer the filming of play productions such as the 1924 balcony scene at the Regent Theatre which marked\u00a0 the \u201cfilm debut\u201d of John Gielgud.\u00a0 (However, just for pure laughs and giggles, if you get a chance to see the 1909 French short that\u2019s played as a comedy, it\u2019s quite a sight to behold.)\u00a0 The 1994 five-part miniseries out of London is an exemplary version (leave it to the Brits) while Baz Luhrmann\u2019s 1996 Leonardo DiCaprio modernization is one to pass over.<\/p>\n

While George Cukor\u2019s version was extravagant for the day in terms of cost, the final production values have always felt lacking.\u00a0 Similarly, while Zeffirelli\u2019s film was embraced by audiences and critics alike, when push comes to shove, Olivia Hussey is not that spectacular a Juliet.\u00a0 What sold the film was the fact that she was actually one of the few actresses closer in age to the character Shakespeare wrote; i.e., she wasn\u2019t 25 or 30 trying to be 15.\u00a0\u00a0 But now we have Hailee Steinfeld who has such age appropriate cherubic innocence and passion that she will make you forget all others.\u00a0 And we have a script adaptation by Julian Fellowes, delivering a ROMEO & JULIET that while true to The Bard\u2019s words, has a beautiful lyricism and flow thanks to some condensing of scenes, making this a ROMEO & JULIET for the 21st century.<\/p>\n

\"RJ<\/p>\n

Casting is the best and most appropriate I have ever seen for a film\/tv production of ROMEO & JULIET.\u00a0 Key is that the young lovers played by Hailee Steinfeld and Douglas Booth are age appropriate and their chemistry is like liquid Mercury.\u00a0\u00a0 Fluid, mesmerizing, engaging, shining brightly.\u00a0 Steinfeld not only captivates with blossoming innocence but gives Juliet confidence, strength, conviction and intelligence.\u00a0 Booth adds a collegial maturity that is refreshing, fun and adoring in Romeo\u2019s love for Juliet.\u00a0 The genuine adoration that the camera captures in Steinfeld\u2019s eyes when gazing on Booth\u2019s Romeo is heart-stoppingly tender and exquisite.\u00a0 The one admitted challenge for Steinfeld, however, was grasping Shakespeare\u2019s words.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIt was definitely a process learning that text and going through and translating each thing.\u00a0 My script was filled with little itty bitty writing and the translation of every line.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"RJ<\/p>\n

As Romeo\u2019s best friend, Benvolio, Kodi Smit-McPhee just knocks it out of the park in his first \u201cmature\u201d role.\u00a0 Poignant, engaging, heartfelt.\u00a0 Ed Westwick just nails Tybalt with anger and arrogance.\u00a0 The Alan Rickman\/\u201dProfessor Snape\u201d black hair is a killer element to his whole look, one that matches the venomous vitriol Tybalt spews forth in word and deed.\u00a0 And can we talk fine fine fine looking men?\u00a0 Where has Christian Cooke been hiding?\u00a0 Let\u2019s rewrite the story so that Mercutio doesn\u2019t die just so we can see more of Cooke.<\/p>\n

There are no words for the excellence of Paul Giamatti but for these: Best Supporting Oscar Nomination Now! As Friar Laurence, Giamatti brings a welcoming lightness, offsetting the darker moments in the story.\u00a0 Adding to his magic is Lesley Manville as Juliet\u2019s Nurse.\u00a0 Put Giamatti and Manville together and the result is some laugh-warranting exchanges.\u00a0 A delight to watch these two!<\/p>\n

\"rj<\/p>\n

Appropriately commanding yet calm is the aura that Stellan Skarsgard gives to the Prince of Verona.\u00a0 But then we have a completely different change of pace with Damian Lewis who just shocks the hell out of you as Lord Capulet when he goes from a smarmy niceness to a ranting\u00a0 bedroom scene with threats of disownment and eviction of Juliet should she not marry Paris (who is a wimp and effectively played that way Tom Wisdom).\u00a0 Lewis will have you shaking in your seat at the seemingly psychotic break.<\/p>\n

In this new incarnation from Carlei, we have sweeping grandeur and lushness not only visually, but emotionally.\u00a0 Key is that Carlei and Fellowes \u201c push back the story 100 years and set it during the Reign of Sons instead of the end of the Dark Age in the other movie, to take advantage of the beautiful buildings and the color palette of the maestros of the Reign of Sons.\u201d\u00a0 With this temporal shift, and thanks to the expertise of cinematographer, David Tatersall, every frame looks like a painting with the initial balcony scene spectacularly framed and lensed; a slow zooming upward pan as Romeo comes toward his love.\u00a0 We are immersed not only in that scene, but in every scene.\u00a0 Tatersall\u2019s use of light and shadow is breathtaking.\u00a0 The corridor in the Capulet crypt with flaming sconces throwing a warm golden glow on the fresco-ed, crackled walls is not only striking but warming, metaphorically showing us that in death there is still life.\u00a0 The Masque Ball fills the screen with 360 degree movement, sweeping the audience into the moment.\u00a0 The break of dawn after the young lovers\u2019 wedding night is white, bright, pure, innocent, soft.\u00a0 Steinfeld\u2019s Juliet is always softly lit, almost as if in the 1930’s \u201ccheesecloth\u201d effect during her most adoring moments.\u00a0 Tatersall\u2019s cinematography cries out for an Oscar nomination.<\/p>\n

\"rj<\/p>\n

Significant from a visual standpoint, Carlei embraces the cinematic feel that the story itself has, celebrating the visual expansiveness and removing that sense of claustrophobia so often associated with the tale.\u00a0 Creating expanse through the breathtaking architecture of the castles and village itself, capturing wide shots that expand not only our visual horizons, but metaphorically, the emotional horizons that take this story and its core of innocent love, lifting it to the heavens.<\/p>\n

The construct of design both visually and emotionally is superlative.\u00a0 Notice that when long staircases are involved, everyone is always running down them, never up.\u00a0 The only real upward movement by an actor is by Booth\u2019s Romeo when he climbs the trellis to the balcony – and again, kudos to Tatersall and Carlei for shooting that with a jib as we are right there with Romeo\u2019s movement – not just bystanders or observers from afar; we are experiencing the anxious shortness of breath as he climbs and his heart races with the excitement of a new love.<\/p>\n

\"rj<\/p>\n

The metaphoric contrast of the vastness of rooms and ceilings and the height of ceilings that reach to the heavens (again, prescient for death and heaven for the lovers and the upward climb of young love) set against the confinement of alleys when swordplay and confrontation ensue furthers the tonal and emotional bandwidth of the film and provides an additional unspoken layer of clarity to Shakespeare\u2019s words.<\/p>\n

The one shortcoming, however, is the swordplay.\u00a0 Although according to Booth and Smit-McPhee \u201cthere was quite a lot of [sword] rehearsal\u201d, the end result is only \u201cfair\u201d in its execution, leading one to believe that perhaps some more sword training was required.\u00a0 However, to Carlei\u2019s benefit, the angular lensing and editing covers some of the inadequacies.<\/p>\n

\"rj<\/p>\n

According to screenwriter Fellowes, \u201cWe were very keen to appeal to an audience beyond that of Shakespeare\u2019s scholars.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t want to present a story that you needed to be a student of Shakespeare in order to understand it. . .We wanted to keep the feeling there, keep Shakespeare\u2019s intention and keep his language. . .[E]ven though 80% of the movie is Shakespeare, but what it is, is cut.\u00a0 This scene is put maybe with this scene and all the rest of it.\u00a0 So we had this kind of double agenda which was to bring the story to be enjoyed by an audience who have not maybe been to a Shakespeare play every Friday night of the week, but at the same time, to be true to the play.\u201d<\/p>\n

A writer very cognizant of the visual aspects of a film, Fellowes expounds.\u00a0 \u201cThe great advantage of a movie when you are trying to do that is that you can stay with the visual narrative; you\u2019re not having to go against Shakespeare, you\u2019re following his definition – you\u2019re in the Capulets\u2019 house, you\u2019re in the Prince\u2019s palace, the market square, whatever it is – because he chooses his locations like a moviemaker.\u00a0 For him, you sit one tree on the back of the stage and you\u2019re in the park.\u00a0 You stick a throne in the back and you\u2019re in the throne room.\u00a0 It\u2019s not like with a modern play where you\u2019re trying to get away from that sitting room with a sofa and two chairs that makes you want to cut your throat when the curtain goes up.\u00a0 So that was an advantage that, for me, Carlo really took with both hands and opened it up, staying with Shakespeare\u2019s choice of location but making them real.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"RJ<\/p>\n

Carlei himself agreed to direct ROMEO & JULIET after reading Fellowes\u2019 script. \u201c. . .[I]t was the most beautiful script I\u2019ve ever read in my life.\u00a0 The trick that this gentleman [Fellowes] used was that by giving very little description, he captured my attention and my heart only through his incredible re-adaptation or recreation of the [dialogue].\u00a0 It was mesmerizing.\u00a0 The thing was relentless.\u00a0 Sometimes it takes a lot of description to describe an action scene and you lose focus, you get bored by the description.\u00a0 This was like an action movie and you were absolutely blown away.\u201d<\/p>\n

As stunning as is the costume design of Carlo Poggioli and the breathtaking production design of Tonino Zera, it is the sweeping sumptuous score of Polish composer Abel Korzeniowski that gives ROMEO & JULIET its wings.\u00a0 While no stranger to some, having scored \u201cA Single Man\u201d and Madonna\u2019s \u201cW.E.\u201d, ROMEO & JULIET is without a doubt the crowing glory in Korzeniowski\u2019s repertoire.\u00a0 The score is very much a character in the film, carrying us along, keeping us paced and moving without become trapped or lost in the pentameter of Shakespeare.\u00a0 Lush and smooth, the score is thematic, much like that of\u00a0 Bernard Hermann or Max Steiner or even Korzeniowski\u2019s contemporary,\u00a0 Aaron Zigman.\u00a0 Scoring – another technical aspect of the production that calls for Academy attention.<\/p>\n

\"Rj<\/p>\n

Hand in hand with the beauty of the score is the sound design that utilizes the music in what feels an intentional construct in the design.\u00a0 When Paul Giamatti speaks, the music fades out.\u00a0 When Skarsgard (who cuts a mean regal figure) speaks, his voice booms and there is no music.\u00a0 When Lesley Manville speaks as the kindly, loving Nurse, there is no music.\u00a0 Yet, when the younger performers such as Steinfeld or Booth speak, quite often the music is elevated, almost as if to cover any slips in their pentamic dialogue delivery.\u00a0 A judiciously interwoven element of the production that maintains the lyrical flow.<\/p>\n

What light through yonder breaks?\u00a0 For ROMEO & JULIET, hopefully, the glint of Oscar gold.<\/p>\n
