But don't worry, I'm still prepping for a summer of projects and working my way through Fitzgerald! I have a couple of posts on the author's life and letters to finish (along with my re-reading of Tender is the Night) but in the meantime the first trailer for the new Great Gatsby film has been released!
What do you think? I've watched it a couple of times and while the visuals are really interesting, I'm still having trouble getting behind the music. Not because it's modern--that's a typical Luhrmann trope--but because it's so slow. I also thought it was interesting that the narration at the opening is not actually from Gatsby but from a later piece by Fitzgerald. That could be good, as it might signify a lot of reading and research from Luhrmann/the writers. I guess we'll see at Christmas...
