However, they would miss some perfect comedy. If the viewer dislikes what they have seen by the end of this scene, they might as well shuffle towards the exit – they are hardly going to find solace in the following 2 and a half hours. Very early on, a brilliant Matthew McConaughey cameo sets the tone for what is to come themes of greed, drugs, the lure of empty sex and pulsing music all play a part. Indeed, the comfort with a regular leading man served the director so well in his years with Robert De Niro that it is no surprise that he has chosen to work so often in recent times with DiCaprio.Īnd yet, there appears to be a whole new freedom in Scorsese’s work – this is undeniably the funniest film he has ever directed.
His ongoing collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio has spawned some of Scorsese’s finest works. The core story is prime Scorsese territory merciless, money-hungry, philandering young man rises to great wealth and infamy through nefarious and highly illegal means.įrom Goodfellas, through Casino and on past The Departed, Scorsese knows how to weave a tale of violence and corruption on both sides of the law. There is no other way to describe succinctly this bulging, three-hour tale of Jordan Belfort, one of the wealthiest men working – and manipulating – Wall Street from the late 1980s. If there is one word that can sum up Martin Scorsese’s new film, The Wolf of Wall Street, it would be ‘excess’. Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler
