Burning desires, mad passions, class conflict, shady pasts, the white supremacy, blind love, clandestine affairs, missing moral compass, raging revenge – as a work of fiction inspired by the society that was thriving in New York of 1922, The Great Gatsby has all the elements of drama and intrigue. F Scott Fitzgerald’s great American novel comes alive, once again, this time under the indulgent, opulent, dramatic direction of Baz Luhrmann (Australia, Moulin Rouge, Romeo & Juliet). Set to U2’s track, Love is Blindness, the trailer is engaging with Carey Mulligan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Amitabh Bachchan, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher et al setting the mood for its release on May 10, 2013. Catch it, but do read the book to get perspective.
