О овом филму

Produced and directed by legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg, from a screenplay by screenwriter and playwright Tony Kushner, WEST SIDE STORY tells the classic tale of fierce rivalries and young love, set in 1957 New York City. A whole new generation can experience this reimagining of the beloved musical originally choreographed by Jerome Robbins, with music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and original book by Arthur Laurents. Ansel Elgort stars as Tony, a former member of the Jets street gang, and Rachel Zegler stars as María, a young woman whose brother is the head of the Jets' rival gang, the Sharks. When Tony and María meet, they fall in love, but those close to them discourage their union. As racial and territorial tensions mount between the competing gangs, events unfold that threaten the young lovers' happiness. Along with its iconic songs, the film features breathtaking new choreography from Justin Peck, with the score helmed by renowned Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Gustavo Dudamel and arranged by composer and conductor David Newman. WEST SIDE STORY also stars Ariana DeBose, David Alvarez, Mike Faist, Josh Andrés Rivera, Ana Isabelle, Corey Stoll, Brian d'Arcy James, and Rita Moreno, who was featured in the 1961 film version, and who serves as an executive producer. The film's creative team additionally includes Kushner as an executive producer, along with Daniel Lupi and Adam Somner, with Kevin McCollum and Kristie Macosko Krieger also producing. A timeless story of love and social unrest, the film also features stunning cinematography by Janusz Kaminski.

I really wasn't sure that I'd like a new adaptation of such a classic movie and play. This was just so hauntingly beautiful with it's incredible dance and singing performances along with the amazing cinematography and design, I was wonderfully surprised and taken aback by it's beauty. It's a slightly different approach from the original but I loved and appreciated it just the same. I definitely recommend watching it and taking in this new version of West Side Story's poetic, romantic and timeless allure.

Good dancing, perfect, even too perfect but emotionless singing. Great camera work, bad director work.

Beautiful cinematography and directing. Otherwise a perfectly mediocre movie. Glad I watched it once but doubt I ever will again.
