Scott Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age novel, considered by some the greatest piece of 20th century American lit- erature, opens Thursday, July 11, at the Sunrise Theater in Southern Pines. It is “an eminently enjoy- able movie,” writes A.O. Scott in The New York Times. Luhrmann “sticks close to the details of the story and lifts dialogue and description directly from the novel’s pages. But he also felt free to make that material his own, bending it according to his artistic sensibility and what he takes to be the mood of the times. The result is less a conventional movie adapta- tion than a splashy, trashy opera, a wayward, lavishly theatrical celebration of the emotional and material extravagance that Fitzgerald surveyed with fascinated ambivalence.” Luhrmann uses Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as an ever-present narrator to provide a framing device for the film. We meet Nick in a sanitarium in 1929, a few months after the stock market crash and seven years after the book’s central story. He is trying to recover from alcoholism, and his doctor encourages him to write the memoir-confession we see unfolding in flashback. In 1922, Nick, a stockbro- ker, took his Wall Street success to the new-money enclave of fictional West Egg on Long Island, in pur- suit of the American dream. Old-money blue- bloods, such as his cousin Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and her fabulously wealthy husband Tom (Joel Edgerton), live across the bay in East Egg. Nick’s neighbor, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), has the grandest mansion of all, where he can gaze across the water to the estate of his lost love, Daisy. Gatsby is a rich man hiding a modest back- ground and a criminal past. Nick’s family ties to Daisy make him a frequent visitor at East Egg, but he hangs out with Gatsby as well After Gatsby summons Nick to one of his luxuri- ous and decadent parties, he asks Nick to arrange an afternoon tea party with Daisy. During World War II, in Louisville, then- young lieutenant Gatsby knew and loved Daisy before war separated them. Nick becomes the facili- tator and witness of the rekindled affair. Daisy indulges because her arro- gant husband, Tom, is an adulterer, who keeps an apartment in Washington Heights for his auto mechanic’s wife, Myrtle Wilson (Isla Fischer). In the film’s finale, deception and illusion are tragically unraveled. “The Great Gatsby” runs from Thursday, July 11, through Monday, July 15, at 7:30 p.m. Note that there will be no showing on Saturday, July 13, due to the Blues Crawl.There will be a matinee showing on Sunday, July 14, at 2:30 p.m. The film runs 143 min- utes and is rated PG-13. The historic, nonprofit Sunrise Theater is located in downtown Southern Pines, at 250 NW Broad St. Tickets are $7 and are available only at the box office, which opens 30 min- utes before each showing. Refreshments available include fresh popcorn with real butter, soft drinks, beer and wine.
