Rent is a 2005 American film adaptation of the Broadway musical, which was based on Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning musical. This musical-based movie details of a couple of Bohemians and their struggles with sexuality, drugs, living under the shadow of AIDS, and of course, paying their rent. It takes place in the East Village area of New York City in the late 1980s. The film, directed by Chris Columbus, had six of the original Broadway cast members reprising their roles.
