West Side Story(12A)(2021) 156mins

The classic tale of fierce rivalries and young love.

Directed by Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg, from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award® winner Tony Kushner, “West Side Story” tells the classic tale of fierce rivalries and young love in 1957 New York City.

This reimagining of the beloved musical stars Ansel Elgort (Tony) and Rachel Zegler (María).

Bringing together the best of both Broadway and Hollywood, “West Side Story” has been adapted for the screen from the original 1957 Broadway show, with book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and concept, direction and choreography by Jerome Robbins.

A story that has captivated audiences for decades.

Not just a love story, but a culturally significant work with a central premise – that love transcends prejudice and intolerance

REVIEWS:

‘a re-telling that will leave you gasping.’

★★★★★ The Telegraph
‘a film which fuses the colour and euphoria of a Golden Age movie musical with the teeming, dirty-fingernailed grandeur of a classic American immigrant epic.’

★★★★★ Empire
Heartfelt and heart-breaking… An adaptation faithful to its roots but also, always, alive to the modern world.’

★★★★ The Daily Mail
‘thrillingly done.’
