Martin Scorsese's 'The Wolf of Wall Street' is abashed and shameless, exciting and exhausting, disgusting and illuminating; it's one of the most entertaining films ever made about loathsome men. Its star has compared it to the story of the Roman emperor Caligula, and he's not far off the mark. Adapted by from the memoir by stockbroker Jordan Belfort, who oozed his way into a fortune in the 1980s and '90s, this isĀ an excessive film about excess, and a movie about appetites whose own appetite for compulsive pleasures seems bottomless.
It runs three hours, and was reportedly cut down from four by Scorsese's regular editor. It's 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.
