Martin Scorseses The Wolf of Wall Street is abashed and shameless, exciting and exhausting, disgusting and illuminating its one of the most entertaining films ever made about loathsome men. Its star Leonardo Di. Caprio has compared it to the story of the Roman emperor Caligula, and hes not far off the mark. Adapted by Terence Winter from the memoir by stockbroker Jordan Belfort, who oozed his way into a fortune in the 1. It runs three hours, and was reportedly cut down from four by Scorseses regular editor Thelma Schoonmaker. Its a testament to Scorsese and Winter and their collaborators that one could imagine watching these cackling swine for five hours, or ten, while still finding them fascinating, and our own fascination with them disturbing. This is a reptilian brain movie. Every frame has scales. Advertisement. The middle class, Queens raised Belfort tried and failed to establish himself on Wall Street in a more traditional waywe see his tutelage in the late 8. Matthew Mc. Conaugheybut got laid off in the market crash of 1. He reinvented himself on Long Island by taking over a penny stock boiler room and giving it an old money name, Stratton Oakmont, to gain the confidence of middle and working class investors. Per Wikipedia, at its peak, the firm employed over 1. Steve Madden Ltd. Belfort and his company specialized in pump and dump operations artificially blowing up the value of a nearly worthless stock, then selling it at a big profit, after which point the value drops and the investors lose their money. Belfort was indicted in 1. Taking its cues from gangster pictures, Wolf shows how Belfort rose from humble origins, becoming rich and notorious the title comes from an unflattering magazine profile that caught the attention of federal prosecutors. This Robin Hood in reverse builds himself a team of merry men drawn from various sundry corners of his life. All have both given names and Damon Runyon esque nicknames Robbie Feinberg, aka Pinhead Brian Sacca, Alden Kupferberg, aka Sea Otter Henry Zebrowski, the dreadfully toupeed Rugrat Nicky Koskoff P. J. Byrne, The Depraved Chinaman Chester Ming Kenneth Choi, and Brad Bodnick Shane Bernthal of The Walking Dead, a De. Niro esque neighborhood hothead whos known as the Quaalude King of Bayside. His office enforcer is his volcanic dad Rob Reiner, who screams about expenditures and workplace sleaze, but often seems to live vicariously through the trading floors young wolves. Belforts right hand man Donnie Azoff Jonah Hill is perhaps even more conscienceless than Belfort a hefty wiseass with gleaming choppers who quits his job at a diner after one conversation with the hero, joins his scheme, helps him launder money, and introduces him to crackas if Belfort didnt have enough intoxicants in his system, on top of the adrenaline he generates by making deals and bedding every halfway attractive woman who crosses his path. As Mc. Conaugheys character tells Belfort early on, this subset of investing is so scummy that drugs are mandatory How the f else would you do this job At one point a broker declares that theyre doing all that coke and all those Quaaludes and guzzling all that booze in order to stimulate our freethinking ideas.

Belfort is married when the tale begins, to a good and respectable woman who doesnt approve of his financial shenanigans or chronic infidelity, but he soon throws her over for a blond and curvy trophy named Naomi La. Paglia Australian actress Margot Robbie, then marries her and starts supporting her in the style to which theyve both become accustomed. After a few years, Belfort is living in a mansion that another Di. Caprio character, Jay Gatsby, might find gaudy, and buying a yacht, and helicoptering to and from meetings and parties while drugged out of his mind. Then a federal prosecutor named Patrick Denham Kyle Chandler enters the picture, sweating Belfort by confronting him on his own turf including Belforts yacht and letting him brag on his own awesomeness until he hangs himself. Imagine the last thirty minutes of Good. Fellas stretched out to three hours. Thats the pace of this movie, and the feel of it. Its one damned thing after another stock fraud and money laundering trips to and from Switzerland to deposit cash in banks and give the increasingly wasted Belfort a chance to flirt with his wifes British aunt, played by Absolutely Fabulous costar Joanna Lumley rock and pop driven montages with ostentatious film speed shifts including a slow motion Quaalude binge and some daringly protracted and seemingly half improvised dialogue scenes that feel like tiny one act plays. The best of these is Mc. Conaugheys only long scene as Belforts mentor Mark Hanna, who at one point thumps a drum pattern on his chest while rumble singing a la Bobby Mc. Ferrin this eventually becomes the anthem of Belforts firm, and its weirdly right, as it suggests a tribal war song for barbarians on permanent rampage. As is often the case in Scorseses films, Wolf gives alpha male posturing the attraction repulsion treatment, serving up the drugging and whoring and getting over as both spectacle and cautionary tale. In his most exuberant performance since Titanic, Di. Caprio plays Belfort as a pipsqueak Mussolini of the trading floor, a swaggering jock who pumps his guys up by calling them killers and warriors and attracts hungry, self destructive women, partly via brashness and baby faced good looks, but mostly by flashing green. The film lacks the mild distancing that Scorsese brought to Good. Fellas and Casino. The former contrasted Henry Hills matter of fact narration with occasionally shocked reactions to bloodshed Casino adopted a Stanley Kubrick like chilly detachment, as if everyone involved were narrating from a cloud in Heaven or a pit in Hell. Wolf is in the thick of things at all times, to suffocating effect, depriving the viewer of moral anchors. Advertisement. This is not the same thing as saying that the film is amoral, though. Its not. Its disgusted by this story and these people and finds them grotesque, often filming them from distorted angles or in static wide shots that make them seem like well dressed animals in lushly decorated terrariums. You can tell how much Belfort cares about his people by the way his narration segues from an anecdote about a broker who fell into a spiral of misery and shame He got depressed and killed himself three years later, Belfort says over a photo of a corpse in a bathtub trailing blood from slit wrists. Then, without missing a beat, he says, Anyway. The brokers classify prostitutes by cost and attractiveness, referring to them as blue chips, NASDAQs and pink sheets or skanks theyre warm blooded receptacles to be screwed and sent on their way, much like the firms clients, including shoe mogul Steve Madden, whose deal Belfort describes as an oral rape. The directorial high point is a Belfort Azoff Quaalude binge that spirals into comic madness, with Azoff blubbering and freaking out and stuffing his face and collapsing, and Belfort suffering paralysis during a panicked phone call about his money and then crawling towards his car like a nearly roadkilled animal, one agonizing inch at a time. These images of censure and humiliationand there are a lot of them, including a gif worthy moment of Belfort paying a prostitute to stick a lit candle in his bumcoexist with moments that get off on the mens howling and profit making and chest thumping. Were supposed to figure out how we feel about the mix of modes, and accept that if there were no appeal whatsoever to this kind of behavior, no one would indulge in it. This isnt wishy washy.
