It was only a matter of time before Julian Fellowes – screenwriter behind Gosford Park and Downton Abbey and archetypal English gent – took on Shakespeare. Romeo And Juliet is reimagined for the 21st century in this lush adaption, scripted by Fellowes and directed by Carlos Carlei. It’s set in Verona and features all the lush melodrama you know and love in Fellowes’ period pieces (plus Paul Giamatti). Romeo And Juliet is out on DVD, and if you’d like to win a copy, get in touch at win@xpressmag.com.au.
