Episode description

This week we resume our Oscars nominations series with a Spielberg musical - West Side Story. A renewed adaptation of Jerome Robbins' classic 1957 musical, inspired by William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story brings us into a diverse neighborhood in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in the mid-1950s. It follows the budding love of Tony (Ansel Elgort) and Maria (Rachel Zegler), and the implications their love has between two rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. But... Is West Side Story Good?
