R & J Video

Not only was this movie directed by the same person that directed the new Romeo and Juliet movie but its story is nearly identical in theme. A "pair of star crossed lovers" find each other in a brothel and fall in love with each other at first sight. But the girls boss and friends will not let her be with him because the boy is poor and the wealthy bishop wants to marry her. Also, the bishop is the only person that can make her acting become a reality. This movie was greatly influenced by Romeo & Juliet in its theme and base story line as both movie and play center on a pair of lovers who's love is restricted by those around them.
