To most people, the New Year is a time for resolutions. Tis usually involves winding down the pace and behaving yourself. In tinseltown, however, it signifies the beginning of award season, and believe you me, the party is just getting started. Tis brings us to Te Wolf of Wall Street, the latest film from MartinScorsese. Anyone who knows anything about films knows Scorsese, but for years he appeared to have been shunned by the Academy - masters of shiny object giving - despite making such classics as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas. He remained statue- less until in 2006, he won an Oscar for Te Departed (not that he didn’t show his gratitude, he then made Hugo, a film about how cinema is awesome) but now he’s back, and he’s up to his old tricks. Te Wolf… is about stockbroker Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio) who swindles
his way from humble beginnings to money laundering toe-rag before ultimately exploding in a shower of dirty money. It’s perfect. Who better than the guy who showed us gangsters being businessmen, to show us bankers being criminals? Te movie’s tone is more comic than previous work, but still as dark and satisfyingly disturbing. DiCaprio is brilliant, but Scorsese movies have always been as much about the supporting cast, and this is no exception. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Academy Award nominee Jonah Hill, Academy Award winner Jean Dujardin and… Matthew McConaughy. Actually, McConaughy is great in this, acting his hat off as Belfort’s drug-fuelled mentor. Whether or not Marty or Leo scoop any awards for it will remain to be seen, but if you want to feel like a winner, give this a look. Smiley
