And in ShakespeareвЂ™s text, RomeoвЂ™s sense of romantic and sexual identity is as ethereal as the pornography of love. In ShakespeareвЂ™s text, Juliet is infantilized by the nurse, with whom she is too close, something she will realize when the nurse advises her to betray Romeo. (ItвЂ™s 1996.) Instead of The Merchant of Penis, he opts for As You Lick It, and when prompted to choose what sort of experience he wants, he chooses true love. He considers which Shakespeare Sex Interactive CD-Rom to watch. Meanwhile, Romeo (Will Kennan) is pining for his Rosie (Rosaline) while seated alone at his computer. Juliet (Jane Jenson) confides her ambivalent sexual feelings about men to her nurse (Debbie Rochon), with whom she is sexually intimate. One peculiar example is a scene that juxtaposes two sexual acts. The spiritual life at the center of Romeo and JulietвЂ™s culture, and the patriarchal fury of the play, are consistent with these themes. Sometimes this comes off as goofy camp, but sometimes this comes off as a surrealistic nightmare of Puritanical America. The hymn вЂњShall We Gather at the RiverвЂќ repeats constantly throughout the film, and the need to repress awareness of our own desires, and our need to wield tyrannical control our childrenвЂ™s desires, is one of the themes of this film. The two feuding households are dueling pornographic filmmakers. Tromeo and Juliet is a decidedly American take on ShakespeareвЂ™s tragedy. Perhaps viewers not from America might think this Will to Outrage strained. If you want a painfully sanitized aesthetic, might I recommend Carlo CarleiвЂ™s Romeo and Juliet? There is in this film the exploitation-movie compulsion towards graphic sex and gore, as well as astoundingly low lowbrow humor that may superficially seem contrary to the spirit of the great bard. Of course, little of ShakespeareвЂ™s language appears in Tromeo, and when it does, it is usually given voice in the form of the prologue, performed by Lemmy of MotГ¶rhead!Д«ut the screenplay also nimbly borrows lines from other Shakespeare plays. Tromeo and Juliet was released the same year as Romeo + Juliet. Perhaps itвЂ™s the fact that James Gunn, of Guardians of the Galaxy fame, co-wrote the script, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Tromeo and Juliet is one of the best Shakespeare films of all time. His studio, Troma, is a factory for latter day exploitation cinema. I admit I donвЂ™t know much of KaufmanвЂ™s oeuvre beyond The Toxic Avenger. I anticipated that this Lloyd Kaufman film would be one of those at best. From time to time, I review films that may seem tangential to Shakespearean theatre, such as Strange Brew and Gnomeo and Juliet and Edward II. Last week, the bourgeoisie wet dream that is Carlo CarleiвЂ™s Romeo and Juliet so dismayed me that I decided the time had come to try Tromeo and Juliet.
