Luhrmann’s look for the world and ways of Gatsby via the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel is fantastic.
Here’s an official synopsis for the film:
“The Great Gatsby” follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan), and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without of the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.
The Great Gatsby stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Toby Maguire as Nick Carraway, Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan, Carrey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, Isla Fisher as Myrtle Wilson, and Jason Clarke as George Wilson.
