The Great ... Baz Luhrmann

Saturday, May 11, 2013

Given the massive amount of money that goes into even the smallest Hollywood production, it is hard calling any of them craft. Most people would assign that label to the independent films made outside of the big studios. But if there is one person today whose personal mark is unmistakable, someone who embodies the craft of filmmaking, it is Baz Luhrmann.

Of course we’re referring here to the director’s latest work, The Great Gatsby, and whether you appreciate him or not, if you’re a fan of cocktail culture, this movie is a must see. In typical grandiose style, Luhrmann does reasonable justice to the original Fitzgerald masterpiece while painting a picture of the Roaring Twenties that, if not historically accurate, portrays them as they may well manifest here in another decade. It is undoubtedly a tragedy, as nearly all of Luhrmann’s subjects are, but regardless of the unfortunate and inevitable outcome, it provides, at the very least, wonderful inspiration for a Jazz Age summer gala of your own.
