Synopsis: A classic American novel, The Great Gatsby is a monumental exploration of the American Dream, set in a colourful world of crime, infidelity, and lost love.
Nick Carraway has just moved to Long Island, and the biggest name on the block is Gatsby, the eccentric millionaire who throws parties he does not attend. When Nick gets a chance to meet him he finds himself pulled into Gatsby’s machinations to win back his lost love – Nick’s married cousin, Daisy.
F. Scott Fitzgerald vividly captures the roaring twenties in this, possibly his most famous work, all while exploring themes ranging from decadence and excess to massive social change and how to navigate it. Widely considered one of the great American novels, The Great Gatsby has been adapted to the screen multiple times, most recently in 2013, with Baz Luhrmann directing, Leonardo DiCaprio starring, and Jay-Z providing music.
