as one of her fondest filmmaking memories. “It was definitely the job you want to have been your first job,” says Barrett. “It was unforgettable.”
We all came out of the theater, and the job delineations aren’t as rigid as they are in films. You tend to do a bit of everything: We would get there in the morning and steam the curtains, or I’d stay late with Catherine and we’d paint the floor. Everyone is kind of an equal collaborator, and we all brought that same methodology to the way we made that film. I think you can see that, because it’s very cohesive and everything is integrated.
What was the story behind the Capulet party costumes? I feel like all of them give a little backstory to each of the characters. Diane Venora as Lady Capulet, dressed as Cleopatra, and John Leguizamo as Tybalt, dressed as the devil, during the Capulet party scene.thoseThe Capulets definitely have that kind of gunslinging, gangster, low-hipped, cowboy-boots kind of vibe. And then the Montagues are more flyboy. They’re like the guys in Hawaii on leave from the ship. They’re still fighters, but they’re more laid-back and relaxed and American in a way.
