Film Club - 30th May 2013 - “The Great Gatsby”

If any of you are gagging to see the cheezy film spectacular of the summer "The Great Gatsby", Emma and Frances are calling this an Oxbridge Filmcircle for like minded people... While this promises to be a movie full of glitzy 3D eyecandy the critics remain divided as to how well this performance portrays the glamour, fragility and eventual tragedy so poignantly captured in Scott Fitzgerald's poetic and brilliantly clairvoyant novel about the violent crash of American society at the end of the Jazz Age.

This film is indeed the third attempt to bring Fitzgerald's literary masterpiece to life on the big screen... it remains for the Oxbridge Film Circle to make up our own minds on the merit of Luhrmann's latest hi-tech offering!
