The New Yorker proves it's still got what it takes (and that Gatsby again)

Reviewing The Great Gatsby, a movie recently set loose upon this breathless world, New Yorker critic David Denby calls the film's director, Baz Luhrmann, "less a filmmaker than a music-video director with endless resources and a stunning absence of taste." Ouch.

(To be fair, however, another reviewer in the same current edition seems to have rather liked the flick.)
