Literature

The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1925

Cinema

The Great Gatsby

Directed by Baz Luhrmann, 2013

Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation translates Fitzgerald’s novel into a visually heightened cinematic experience. While remaining faithful to the core narrative, the film amplifies the excess and fragility of Gatsby’s world through colour, music and movement.
