Romeo Is Juliet

Romeo Is Juliet (Romeo è Giulietta, 2024) is an Italian comedy you can watch online on iFILM — directed by Giovanni Veronesi. A young actress bombs her Juliet audition, disguises herself as a man, and is cast as Romeo instead.

Pilar Fogliati plays the lead opposite Sergio Castellitto and Margherita Buy, keeping her identity secret through every rehearsal. The deception grows harder to maintain — and that escalating tension is where Veronesi finds his best material, not in the Shakespeare itself but in the lie built around it.

Italy has a long tradition of cross-dressing comedy done with warmth and without meanness; this film sits comfortably within it. Watch Romeo Is Juliet (2024) online on iFILM.
