 Leonardo DiCaprio and Amitabh Bachchan, cast members of 'The Great Gatsby', attend the opening ceremony of the 66th Cannes Film Festival.

  Cannes Film Festival 2013 got off to a flying start with the premiere of Baz Luhrmann’s new movie, The Great Gatsby.

Audrey Tautou, Amitabh Bachchan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, Nicole Kidman, Daniel Auteuil and Vidya Balan acknowledge applause during the opening ceremony ahead of the screening of 'The Great Gatsby'.

'The Great Gatsby' follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super-rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles. Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Carey Mulligan, Isla Fisher, Jason Clarke, Elizabeth Debicki and Amitabh Bachchan.
