Excessively excessive comedy

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2013)

Rated R Post... within the first 5 minutes, Leonardo Dicaprio snorts cocaine off a hooker's ass. The rest of the movie is just as excessive. A spectacular orgy of excess: cocaine, Quaalude, materialism and full frontal female nudity. Check your morals and you might have a good time. But DEFINITELY NOT for everyone.
Scorcese directs in his usual High NRG style (like "After Hours" and "The Color of Money", the camera never stops moving.) DiCarpio goes all out with this character, making him human, though not heroic at all. These are awful people doing awful things, and the film might revel too much in that, without showing the consequences of it.
A definite GUY film, probably could complement with Pacino and DiPalma's "Scarface".
