We discussed Jonathan Levine’s Warm Bodies (2013) in March 2020, just as COVID began to ravage the US, but the conversation is just as relevant 8 months later. From playing with the traditional components of Romeo and Juliet to adding a common enemy, the film hilariously adapts the Bard and postulates how love is both comic and tragic even in the apocalypse. One of Bob Thompson’s favorites, the film takes on new meaning in a world where we struggle to find human contact in the midst of a global pandemic.
