Though the tale has been reinvented in countless ways, prepare to be torn to shreds by a new film version from Britain’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.balletboyz.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BalletBoyz\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XjMg1iPaZQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Directors Michael Nunn and William Trevitt have swept Kenneth MacMillan’s dramatic ballet onto the streets of Budapest, and drafted a captivating cast from a young generation of stars at the Royal Ballet. Their staging injects new realism and intimacy into the classic work without sacrificing the grandeur and drama. They’ve driven the action along at a furious pace, trimming the darkly glorious Prokofiev score to a lean, mean, fighting 90 minutes, and unleashed the heavens on a pivotal fight scene—it’s sensual, adrenaline-pumping stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13869100\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13869100\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-14-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-14-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-14-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-14-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-14-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-14-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-14-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scene from Romeo & Juliet.

I caught up with Trevitt over the phone as he and Nunn prepared to fly to San Francisco for the opening. Both men danced for many years with the Royal before helming their own gutsy all-male contemporary troupe, and have earned accolades for their innovative \u003ca href=\"https://www.balletboyz.com/stage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stage\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.balletboyz.com/film\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">film\u003c/a> projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of ballet on the big screen, Trevitt said, “Film opens up so much potential in an art form that can seem slightly frozen in time.” Restless cameras weave in and out of market square and ballroom crowds, pry into Juliet’s balcony and bedroom, and penetrate the gloom of the Capulet clan’s underground crypt. The dancers’ taut physiques may be sheathed in tights and pointe shoes, but their barely made-up faces register deep, often conflicting emotions with a refreshing naturalness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13869101\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13869101\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-6-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-6-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-6-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-6-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-6-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-6-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-6-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Francesca Hayward as Juliet in Romeo & Juliet.

Her chemistry with William Bracewell’s boyish, impetuous Romeo is undeniable—yet at their first encounter, when he and his pals gatecrash the Capulets’ ball, the overwhelming sense from the camerawork is one of claustrophobia, as society closes in on the pair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as individual characters are finely etched, the framing of the action throughout the film reinforces the idea of the powerlessness of the individual in a monstrous feudal system. Juliet is just an impressionable teenager, and Romeo no more of a hero than his cocky pals (the exuberant Marcelino Sambé and James Hay), and they don’t fully comprehend the game in which they are pawns. The whirlwind infatuation and its deadly consequences could have been the fate of any of their peers: it’s presented as a tragedy of society more than the tragic love story of these two young people with horrible parents. That the grownups themselves feel trapped is evident in searing portrayals of the grief-stricken Lady Capulet by Kristen McNally, the chilling Lord Capulet by Christopher Saunders, the fiery Tybalt by Matthew Ball, and the conflicted Friar Laurence by Bennet Gartside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13869102\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13869102\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-5-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-5-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-5-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-5-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-5-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Romeo-and-Juliet-5-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">William Bracewell and Francesca Hayward in Romeo & Juliet.

But you don’t need to know which one that is until the storyline begins to reveal itself.’ So, it’s more about a bunch of three friends, and a family preparing for a marriage, and much less about the stars, the lead characters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He went on to reflect, “But part of that is because—although Michael and I did perform Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio in our day, all the leading male roles—we also spent a lot of time as townspeople. We know the stars can’t do it unless the community around them responds in the right way. We wanted to really respect the work of the \u003cem>corps de ballet \u003c/em>dancers and for them to end up being as important a character as the leads were.

The whirlwind infatuation and its deadly consequences could have been the fate of any of their peers: it’s presented as a tragedy of society more than the tragic love story of these two young people with horrible parents.

But you don’t need to know which one that is until the storyline begins to reveal itself.’ So, it’s more about a bunch of three friends, and a family preparing for a marriage, and much less about the stars, the lead characters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He went on to reflect, “But part of that is because—although Michael and I did perform Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio in our day, all the leading male roles—we also spent a lot of time as townspeople. We know the stars can’t do it unless the community around them responds in the right way. We wanted to really respect the work of the \u003cem>corps de ballet \u003c/em>dancers and for them to end up being as important a character as the leads were. Perhaps that’s why you saw what you described as something that could have happened to any of them: it’s just a tragic sequence of events that led to it being this particular tragedy on this particular day.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/EHPT8IglL0s'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/EHPT8IglL0s'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Teenage passions and swordfights to the death aren’t the only things to look forward to at the San Francisco Dance Film Festival.
