Review Roundup - Nothing succeeds like Excess
THE WOLF OF WALL STREET (2013)
After going into some uncharted territory (a fun diversion into the history of cinema) with the family friendly Hugo, Martin Scorsese returns to familiar ground. Ground that is drenched with bodily fluids, where the air is blue and every scene is populated with grotesque yet compelling characters. In a follow up to both Goodfellas/Casino and his prior collaborations with DiCaprio this is another stylised, self narrated, non-fiction story about crime and corruption. At nearly three hours this is a monster just like it's central character; at times it's excessive and extreme. Luckily the proceedings are nearly always entertaining no matter how ridiculous and obscene things turn out. In a story about seedy financial dealings and crime it's also surprisingly funny even if most of the the humour is incredibly dark.
