See the full lineupAbout the film:
In Scorsese’s outrageous story of American excess, Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Jordan Belfort, a young stockbroker hungry for a life of non-stop thrills where corruption is king and more is never enough. His rise to power earns him the title The Wolf of Wall Street.
In 1987, Belfort takes an entry-level job at a Wall Street brokerage firm. By the early 1990s, while still in his 20s, he founds his own firm, Stratton Oakmont. Together with his trusted lieutenant (Jonah Hill) and a merry band of brokers, he makes a huge fortune by defrauding wealthy investors out of millions. However, while Belfort and his cronies partake in a hedonistic brew of sex, drugs and thrills, the SEC and the FBI close in on his empire of excess.
“Scorsese unleashes a furious, yet exquisitely controlled, kinetic energy, complete with a plunging and soaring camera, mercurial and conspicuous special effects, counterfactual scenes, subjective fantasies, and swirling choreography on a grand scale.”
—Richard Brody, The New Yorker
Among other accolades, The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) received five Academy Award nominations – Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor (for DiCaprio) and Best Supporting Actor (for Hill).
