The Great Gatsby

Seen at Village Cinemas Knox
1st June, 2013

Drama

Overview:

Based on the book by F. Scott Fitzgerald, it tells the story from the point of view of Nick Carraway, a young man trying to make his fortune in NYC. His next door neighbour is a man called Gatsby, a nouveau rich man, who throws elaborate parties. His life becomes embroilled in the dramas of Gatsby, his cousins, and their love affairs, with tragic results.

Thoughts:

Cinematically and visually amazing. Good adaptation of the story. Not exactly an enjoyable movie, but it the story isn't exactly enjoyable either. All the characters are flawed, some in ways that make them quite unlikeable.

Overall Rating: 6.5/10
