Cannes Film Festival 2013

Today, The Great Gatsby, Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, will open the sixty sixth film festival of Cannes. In an interview, Leonardo DiCaprio, who stars in the movie, said: “Every time I go to Cannes, it feels like I’m entering the helicopter scene in La Dolce Vita. It’s an insane experience. The entire town is turned into a red carpet. Every hotel is a premiere. But at the same time, it is the mecca for the world to celebrate film-making and bold film-making.”
