I do remember walking in a fog for days after seeing Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet as a 13 year old. But that was because of the sheer beauty of the cinematography more than Shakespeare. It took awhile to come to my small Kansas town but when it finally did I was allowed the money to actually go to the movies. A very rare treat and my first experience with European opulence. The colours, the music, the poetry. To this day I will watch anything by Zefferelli because of his eye. La Traviata is as gorgeous. I saw it in NYC with people sobbing all around me.
