The Great Gatsby is a Hollywood film that’s set to the 1920’s. It is based on one of the greatest works by F. Scott Fitzgerald and is focused on the extravagant lifestyle and societal developments in the ‘Roaring 20’s.’
This film is directed by Baz Luhrmann, the same director who took the helm and brought us Moulin Rouge. He is joined on this project by cinematographer Simon Duggan who together, used 3d technology for this movie. This partnership only means more colorful sets, more intricate costumes, more lavish settings and more luxurious set designs.
The Great Gatsby will open in US theaters on May 10 and is set to be launched in Cannes, France on May 15. Critic’s reviews have been split, where some have called it ‘a stylish, colorful material piled on in excess and tinged with overheated melodrama’ while others laud it for ‘appropriate use of modern technologies and comparatively accurate adaptation.
