The Great Gatsby

Baz Luhrmann's lavish adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic novel unfolds amid opulent champagne-soaked parties, where hope mingles with melancholy and love becomes the image we create of it. Stylistically extravagant yet emotionally precise, the film won two Academy Awards for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design.

Nick (Tobey Maguire) arrives in New York only to become an unwilling witness to the tragic fate of his mysterious neighbor Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio). Gatsby throws increasingly lavish parties, hoping they will bring him the love of his youth - Daisy (Carey Mulligan). But Gatsby's kingdom of illusions gradually crumbles, as does the world on the brink of financial crisis.
