...stints in such films as Waterworld and The Jackal. He hates confrontation, and he's not arrogant enough to have ever told a director he thought he was being misused, but he did find that movies were a lot less fun than theater or Tenacious D, the Spinal Tap-ish band he created with fellow Actors' Gang alum Kyle Gass. "It wasn't about control," says Black. "It was about the co-lla-bo. There's great directors who treat actors like cattle, but I hated it, and I knew if I ever had a choice, I didn't want...

Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, respectively 21 and 16 when they filmed it in 1996, bring youth's melancholy fever to the fable. Luhrmann might be chided for pandering to the youth market, but forget that. His fireworks and camerabatics are an apt and bracing visual equivalent to Shakespeare's swooning iambic pentameter...
