Azul y blanco (2004)

A bold and imaginative takeoff on Shakespeare, Azul y blanco (2004) plucks Romeo and Juliet from Verona and transports it to contemporary Chile, where gangs of soccer hooligans fill in for the feuding Capulets and Montagues. Juan Pablo Sáez and Tamara Acosta play the star-crossed lovers, whose tragedy plays out under the lights of the soccer stadium. A gritty, ultra-modern retelling of the Bard’s classic tale, the film naturally takes a more liberal attitude toward wardrobe selection. The achingly beautiful Acosta is quick to shed her threads whenever her young lover comes calling.
