Event
Rome & Jewel, A film by Charles T. Kanganis, NR, 105 min
The African-American son of a Compton minister and the Caucasian daughter of the Mayor of Los Angeles enter into a forbidden interracial romance in this contemporary, hip-hop infused retelling of William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet. Reverend Q may be a man of the cloth, but when his son Rome (Nate Parker) begins dating rebellious blonde beauty Jewel (Lindsey Haun), father and son are driven apart by bigotry and hatred. Does Jewel truly love Rome, or is her devilish grin actually an indicator that the spontaneous sixteen year old is just playing games by dabbling in the forbidden? As the journey gets underway, passions flair and old grudges threaten to drive these star crossed lovers towards a bitter and tragic end. An outrageous adaptation of the greatest love story of all time, where at any moment, anyone just might break out into rhyme.
