This week brings Leo’s fire to the screen, And Claire Danes shines with sorrowful young mien. The Bard himself, great Shakespeare, takes the stage, Whose words still burn across the modern age. We plunge within this wild Verona’s strife, And ask what gives this frantic film its life. With Baz Luhrmann’s bold hand the tale takes flight, In dazzling cuts and fevered neon light. And Lindsey Belden joins our earnest quest, To speak of films she holds within her breast. Find us online!
