The wolf of Wall Street (2013)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2013
Director: Martin Scorsese
Actors: Leaonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie
Country: USA
Genre: Black Comedy
Conditions of visioning: 13.01.2014, Schauburg, OV sneak preview
Synopsis: Based on the autobiography of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stockbroker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government. 
Review: The story has some funny scenes, all the orgies of new rich people, with sex, drugs but no rock'n'roll. These are very well filmed. Scorsese is very good at that. Between some repetitions of these parties, there are the usual scenes of "looking for drugs" and "the police is on me" as in any drug movie. Finally, Jordan Belfort seems to have abused from plenty of people in the absolute impunity. Not really a black comedy, but the story is told with cynism and it is again cynical that the author gets still money for having been living like that!
Rating: 5 /10
