Quick Summary

Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, in a tuxedo, stands at a lavish party with elegantly dressed guests in 1920s attire in a scene from The Great Gatsby (2013). — Scene from Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby Leonardo DiCaprio (left) as Jay Gatsby and Carey Mulligan (center) as Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby (2013), directed by Baz Luhrmann.

Baz Luhrmann's 2013 film, The Great Gatsby, is a vibrant adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel. The story is narrated by Nick Carraway, a young man from the Midwest who moves to West Egg, Long Island, in the summer of 1922. He becomes neighbors with the enigmatic millionaire Jay Gatsby, who throws extravagant parties.1234

Gatsby's sole motivation is his obsessive love for Daisy Buchanan, a wealthy woman he knew in his youth but who is now married to the brutish Tom Buchanan. The film, like the novel, explores themes of wealth, social class, the elusive nature of the American Dream, and the hollowness that can lie beneath a glittering surface. Luhrmann's signature style is evident in the film's heightened reality, opulent visuals, and anachronistic soundtrack.142
