That's the wondrous, moving twist at the heart of The Great Gatsby: that Gatsby – this mystery man with the ice-cream suit and beguiling smile, this glamorous figure, this rich power-broker who makes a traffic cop go away just by flashing his business card – is driven by nothing more (or less) than the love of a woman... This, in my opinion, is Luhrmann's best film yet (though I wasn't wild about the others), and the only one that made me tear up occasionally.
