Carey Mulligan has described her role as Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby as “tricky”.
In an interview with Total Film, she said: "Daisy is kind of a tricky character, because she contradicts herself constantly, but she's also not very consistently laid out.
“She's eccentric, but seems to feel things passionately, but not necessarily for very long."
The 27-year-old star of Shame, Drive and Never Let Me Go, added that The Great Gatsby was the biggest film she has worked on to date.
She explained: "The scale of it is huge in comparison to all the films I've done.
"The party scenes [Baz Luhrmann] directs through a megaphone. And he speaks personally to all of the dancers and the extras.
"So the parties look so wild because he's the one who is riling them up and everyone has such a good time."
The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role and Joel Edgerton as Daisy's husband, Tom Buchanan, is released this Thursday, May 16.
