Romeo + Juliet (1996) Index and Review
Introduction
In the vast canon of Shakespearean cinema, few entries are as distinct or polarizing as Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film, William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet . By transporting the Elizabethan tragedy to the hyper-modern, neon-soaked landscape of "Verona Beach," Luhrmann did more than simply update the setting; he created a cinematic "index" of the play. In semiotics, an index is a sign that points to a reality, indicating a physical relationship between the signifier and the signified. Luuhmann’s film serves as a comprehensive index of the play’s emotional core, utilizing the visual language of the late 20th century—media saturation, consumerism, and gang violence—to make the archaic text immediately legible to a modern audience. This essay explores how the film functions as an indexical catalog of Shakespeare’s themes, translating the textual into the textural.
