Shocking? No. More a measure of the movie's originality. For, age difference aside, Hutton and Portman are perfectly matched ironists--''Romeo and Juliet, the dyslexic version," as she calls them--dealing with the largest irony of all, the fact that they dare not touch, let alone dream of fulfillment together. Their rue and wryness are characteristic of Scott Rosenberg's writerly script, the playing of their encounters typical of a fine acting ensemble and of Ted Demme's discreet yet forceful direction. Beautiful Girls is always in touch with reality but never drowned...
...second meeting last Thursday, students broke into groups to begin writing scenes of the musical. The show is premised on setting the location of Shakespeare's plays Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet and Julius Coesar at Harvard...
SHAKESPEARE: Today audiences like their Shakespeare straight up. But theatergoers centuries earlier preferred "improved" versions, including Romeo and Juliet with a non-Kervorkian resolution.

Even more impressive was his way with a stripped-down, hopped-up Romeo and Juliet, Prokofiev's great ballet. Designed by the Belgrade-born underground-comic-book illustrator Enki Bilal and choreographed by Angelin Preljocaj, this Romeo takes place in a Mad Max universe where the Capulets and the Montagues are fascist thugs and street ragamuffins, and Juliet sports a bustier whose exaggerated nipples fairly scream "radical Eurotrash reinterpretation...
