The Wolf of Wall Street

The very first scene of ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ features a midget (that’s how they’re described by the characters, so I’m going with it) being thrown at a large target in a game of ‘closest to the bull wins’; as an opening gambit in a film all about excess, that’s setting the bar extremely high for what has to follow. To his credit, Scorsese succeeds in doing so, providing an 180 minute orgy of money, fast cars, hard drugs…and orgies.
