The Great Gatsby

In 1949, a middle-aged Nick Carraway is happily married to ex-flapper Jordan Baker when he revisits the grave of his deceased acquaintance Jay Gatsby, a mysterious and enigmatic millionaire who fascinates him with his lavish lifestyle. Set against the backdrop of Prohibition-era Long Island, the film follows Gatsby's obsessive pursuit of reuniting with his former lover Daisy Buchanan, as well as the dark secrets that haunt their circle. This haunting drama is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel, but its production was marred by studio objections and censorship, resulting in a film that deviates from the original narrative.
