West Side Story
The original film version of West Side Story is rightfully lauded as one of the great movie musicals but this gorgeously evocative update is given a much-needed contemporary spin whilst staying true to the original film's themes of class, race, love and toxic masculinity. Steven Spielberg directs the 1950s-set story which follows two lovers on two opposing sides of a gang rivalry. The white ‘Jets' and the Puerto Rican ‘Sharks' are warring over the small patch of New York City that they both believe belongs to them, constantly causing trouble and fighting with each other. The leader of the Jets, Riff, is keen to bring his old friend Tony, recently released from prison, back into the gang. However, when Tony falls in love with Maria, the sister of the Sharks' leader Bernardo, the situation begin to unravel, and everybody involved begins to hurtle towards tragedy. With stunning musical numbers and dance sequences throughout, Spielberg's West Side Story aims to prove the musical is back in style.
