What
if the Montagues and Capulets had lived in The O.C.? Or that lissome
young cast could be beamed back to fair Verona? The result might look a
wee bit like Virgin Territory a period Italian adventure-romance,
starring two very contemporarily gorgeous young stars, Mischa Barton and
Hayden Christensen. The film is a pastiche of adventure, romance,
action, comedy, period drama, and mistaken identity, set in medieval
Italy against the backdrop of the black plague(!). Spirits are mostly
high, however, as young Lorenzo (Christensen), Pampinea (Barton) and
their cohorts frolic in the countryside, away from the nasty disease,
amid mistaken identities, family honor, and as much wild flirtation as
14th century Italy would tolerate.
