The Great Gatsby

Director: Baz Luhrman

2013 / 143min / 35mm

Luhrmann’s lavish adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s beloved novel of Jazz Age excess is as over-the-top as West Egg party boy Jay Gatsby—played by a goldenly glowing Leonardo DiCaprio—himself. Acting as both one of the film’s producers and its costume designer, Catherine Martin, working alongside Miuccia Prada, dug into the fashion archives of both Prada and Miu Miu, transforming actresses Carey Mulligan, Isla Fisher, and Elizabeth Debicki into fabulously louche vintage fashion plates. A bottle-popping blast with a deep underlying melancholy, encapsulated in the Lana Del Ray original “Young and Beautiful.”
