The Wolf of Wall Street

Director:Martin Scorsese

Writers:Terence WinterJordan Belfort

Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio,Jonah Hill,Margot Robbie.

Acclaimed master director Martin Scorsese (‘Taxi Driver’, ‘Raging Bull’ & ‘GoodFellas’) teams up with with producer and frequent collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio in this tale of greed and debauchery focusing on real-life stock broker and convicted fraudster Jordan Belfort in his rise to the top of the world of seedy Wall Street investing before his fall through the excesses of drugs and sex and illegal activities.

In 1987, the money hungry Belfort (DiCaprio) finds work on Wall Street as an entry-level trader at a blue chip investment bank before the catastrophic Black Monday market crash leaves him out of work. Rebounding to Long Island to sell risky and largely unregulated “pink sheet” shares, Belfort teams up with business partner Donnie Azoff (Jonah Hill) and a few other sales people to start his own brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont selling stocks to wealthy investors whilst rampant prostitution and drug-fuelled antics play out on the trading room floor and Belfort and his associates run an illegal pump-and-dump scheme to get rich off over-inflating stock prices. In the meantime, Belfort finds a new wife Naomi (Margot Robbie) who’s relationship is tested and strained with Jordan’s behaviour whilst FBI agent Patrick Denham (Kyle Chandler) puts Jordan and Stratton Oakmont under the microscope with intense scrutiny.

Whilst not quite at the same level as Scorsese’s masterpieces, ‘Wolf’ is a quintessential film of his most recent filmography and is definitely his most funniest and outrageous film, whilst also serving as a cautionary tale much like ‘GoodFellas’ and ‘Casino’ borrowing their narrative structures and use of narration but replacing the visceral violence seen in those films with plenty of scenes depicting sex and drug use, along with a record amount of swear words (569 “F-bombs” were dropped in the film, a record which still stands for a widespread theatrical release).
