30th Anniversary Screening!
Lock up your fish tanks and ready your Hawaiian shirts—Verona Beach is opening for business. HOLD UP crashes the ultimate cinematic party with Baz Luhrmann’s ROMEO + JULIET (1996), the hyper-stylized, soundtrack-defining, era-making spectacle that taught a generation that Shakespeare could be sexy, violent, and played on a beach with a gun named "Sword."
Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes are the star-crossed lovers trapped in a war of billboards and bullets between the Montague and Capulet empires. With a soundtrack that blasted Radiohead next to Des’ree, and visuals so chaotic and gorgeous they feel beamed from another planet, this is not your English teacher’s Shakespeare. It’s a passionate, tragic, glitter-soaked opera for the MTV age—and it still hits harder than a Capulet tailgate party.
