THE GREAT GATSBY
March 15, 2014  | By David Bianculli

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Baz Luhrmann, the understated director behind Moulin Rouge (I’m kidding, I’m kidding – about the understated, that is), directs this 2013 adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. Luhrmann gets some of it just right – the light across the water, the conspicuous consumption of the clothes closet – but the rest of it, from the music to the staging to even the casting, is much more open to debate. Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the enigmatic title role, with Carey Mulligan and Joel Edgerton as co-stars.
