Cannes set to ditch austerity with ‘Great Gatsby’ launch

CANNES, France, May 15: The Cannes film festival may get some of its swagger back today when it opens with Baz Luhrmann’s lavish 3D period drama “The Great Gatsby”, an opportunity to shed the caution of recent years overshadowed by broader economic gloom. Leonardo DiCaprio and his British co-star Carey Mulligan will walk the red carpet on the French Riviera to promote the $105 million adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel which has already opened in North  America. (agencies)
