About

This screening of Tromeo and Juliet will be presented in 35mm.

The classic love story filtered through the minds of the schlock masters at Troma. Lloyd Kaufmann (The Toxic Avenger) and James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) turn Shakespeare's tale of forbidden romance into a wildly raunchy low-budget black comedy. In characteristic Troma style, depravity reigns supreme as the warring families quarrel on the streets of '90s New York City. Featuring a raucous punk soundtrack and Lemmy Kilmister as the film's narrator, Tromeo and Juliet is a riotous Shakespeare adaptation like no other.
