Style Wars Style wars is a film that documents a number of young graffiti artists who were transforming the city with their unique art.

Franco Zeffirelli and Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet Sex‚ drugs‚ and violence are usually a potent combination‚ and only William Shakespeare could develop them into a masterful‚ poetic‚ and elegant story.

The costuming throughout the movie has been altered into modern clothing. The costuming worn at the Capulet’s party symbolizes the position of the wearer in many different ways.
