The Great Gatsby with Emily Brady

This week we are borne back into the roaring 20s and the….teeming two-thousand tens? to discuss Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 adaptation of the F Scott Fitzgerald masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. Dr Emily Brady, Broadbent Junior Research Fellow at Christ Church, joins to talk all things Gatsby, Gatsby, Gatsby! The roaring 1920s, the book’s long-lasting legacy versus the movie’s somewhat controversial reputation, the music, the costumes, the actors, the green light - we talk it all in the final episode of this season. What else is there to say? It’s the Great Gatsby!
