“ These violent delights have violate ends” - Friar Lawrence
Rated 10/10 by Krys Aline J. "Noté 8/10 par Zoeee "
Trés beau. Une adaptation audacieuse et réussis. Le film est drôle, dynamique, romantique et dramatique. Son style singulier est tres appreciable. L’histoire de base est si jolie et l’adaptation fait correctement la balance entre originalité, modernité en gardant l’essence meme de l’histoire. J’ai beaucoup aimé ce film.
