So being that we live in the Middle East, films tend to reach us a little later than the rest of the world, so you can only imagine my excitement to have finally watched "The Great Gatsby."
Although Baz Luhrmann's film has come under much scrutiny for his directorial leadership in the film, being quoting by the independent newspaper as "Long, gaudy and flawed."
I have to admit I thought to it be anything but....
The film is simply magnificent and dazzling from the eccentric party scenes to the love triangle of Gatsby, Daisy and Tom (her husband).
And lets not forget to mention the costumes, makeup, hair, jazz, cars, alcohol, even the sound track is sublime. Lana Del Rays "young and beautiful" track compliments the theme and tone of the film beautifully!!
On a fashion note i can defiantly forsee a flash back period to the twenties coming along over the summer, so lets get ready with our dark lipsticks, headpieces and beaded dresses, the expression more is more comes to mind!
I dont presume to be a film critic but from the sheer decadence of the film and the beautiful Leonardo DiCaprio i'd have to give this film a 9 out of 10.
