THE GREAT GATSBY

Baz Luhrmann

US/AU, 143', 2013, VO EN ST FR

Synopsis : Spring 1922. It is a time of loosening morals, the rise of jazz, and the enrichment of alcohol smugglers... Aspiring writer Nick Carraway leaves the Midwest to settle in New York. Wanting his share of the American dream, he now lives surrounded by a mysterious millionaire, Jay Gatsby, who distracts himself with high society parties, and his cousin Daisy and her unfaithful husband, Tom Buchanan, who comes from noble blood. This is how Nick finds himself at the heart of the fascinating world of billionaires, their illusions, their loves, and their lies. A privileged witness of his time, he begins to write a story that combines impossible loves, dreams of perfection, and devastating tragedies, and along the way, holds up a mirror that reflects our modern era and its struggles.

All the authors of Gallimard's “Papillon noir” collection will be signing copies of their books on November 15 at 3:00 p.m. The book signing will be followed by a screening of The Great Gatsby.
