Powerful portrayals by the young leads. Film works best at showing the youth of the tragic teens and how their simple desires are thwarted in the complicated mire of the adult world. But direction is over-the-top with too much emoting and overuse of the zoom lens. Gorgeous production though. Last 20 minutes truly heart-breaking and Zefferelli quickly ends it once the deaths have occurred.
