Description
This lot concerns a Laserdisc of the film "Romeo + Juliet" directed by Baz Luhrmann. The visible cover features a graphic design characteristic of the 1990s, with a contrasting visual blending black and white with color. The full title "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet" appears large on the front, accompanied by photographs of the main actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, in their respective roles. The overall visual highlights the duality of "tragedy & love," which is emphasized at the top of the sleeve. The subtitle "The greatest love story the world has ever known." is printed at the bottom.
One can also distinguish the mention Laserdisc at the bottom left, the THX Digital Mastering logo, as well as the indication "Widescreen Collection," confirming that this is an edition designed for the best possible audiovisual reproduction on this medium. The dominant colors of the cover are black, white, red, and sepia tones, giving the whole a look that is both modern and retro, faithful to the film's aesthetic.
The names of the main actors, "Leonardo DiCaprio" and "Claire Danes," are clearly visible at the top of the cover, typical of editions featuring major stars. The medium is presented on a wooden piece of furniture, with a bookshelf environment in the background, but only the front of the Laserdisc is visible and described here.
The inscriptions, logos, and technical mentions (THX, Laserdisc, Widescreen Collection) are clear and legible, which attests to the object's authenticity. No major defects appear on the visible cover; the general appearance is clean, with no obvious signs of wear or apparent tearing on the displayed side.
Condition
Used item, sold as is. Only the front of the cover is visible and described. The general condition appears very good in the visible area.
Did you know? The Laserdisc was the first consumer video format to offer superior quality to VHS, thanks in particular to the use of optical analog format and digital mastering (THX in this case).
