Romeo.Juliet

About This Movie

So here’s a curious gem from 1990, directed by someone whose name seems lost to time. It's this odd little drama-romance hybrid that paints Venice in a rather whimsical light. The lead, an eccentric bag lady, takes stray cats under her wing and dreams of a new world on a boat. There’s a real sense of atmosphere, and the pacing gives it a gentle feel, almost dreamlike. The practical effects are charmingly simplistic, which adds to its quirky appeal. The theme of finding family in the unlikeliest of places is strong throughout. It’s definitely not your typical love story, and that’s what sets it apart. Quite an elusive title, which adds to its mystique for collectors like us.

Not officially released on home video.Described as more rare than the dinosaur.Has a unique blend of drama and romance.
