The Great Gatsby

Adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel of the sumptuous life of enigmatic American millionaire Jay Gatsby, viewed through the eyes of neighbour Nick Carraway.

Long Island 1924. Nick Carraway has come to New York to seek his fortune. While there, he visits his wealthy distant cousin Daisy and her overbearing husband Tom. Both have secrets that entangle Nick and his mysterious and fabulously wealthy neighbour Gatsby. Nobody knows who Gatsby was or where his wealth came from - but many think he is a murderer. The truth is far more poignant and tragic. Lavish adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel.
