The ’20s never roared louder than in this sumptuously romantic retelling of F.
Scott Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age classic.
Robert Redford stars as Jay Gatsby, who had
once loved beautiful, spoiled Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow), then lost her to a
rich boy. But now Gatsby is mysteriously wealthy... and ready to risk everything
to woo Daisy back.
A winner of two Academy Awards, "The Great Gatsby" features a
fine supporting cast and an elegant script by Francis Ford Coppola. and at its
center is the opulent evocation of an era of hot jazz and cold champagne, of
women as exotic and demanding as hothouse flowers, and of live made soft by too
much, too soon.
