The Great Gatsby seems like a perfect fit for director Baz Luhrmann (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!). The man can make a spectacle out of anything and Gatsby is no exception. Let’s be honest, if you got it you might as well flaunt it. The F. Scott Fitzgerald classic has quite a few versions for the small and big screen, however, Luhrmann’s interpretation is unlike any we have experienced before. It is the look, costumes, music, and the entire atmosphere of the film that transfers you to another world. You cannot help but be in awe of it all, no matter how extravagant and over-the-top it may be. Yet once you are able to see through all of the glitz and glamour, The Great Gatsby feels empty. When it’s all over, you should feel something. You should care about these people, but the emotion is not there. It becomes just as shallow as the people who attend Gatsby’s parties.
