DiCaprio and Scorsese make an excellent team

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2014)

Martin Scorsese is an actor's director and my god does it show. 'Wolf' is perfectly cast even down to the extra's. Every actor brings their A-game here. The film lasts over 3 hrs but trust me it is time well spent. Marty takes time to let scenes develop, to let actor's play of each other, to let the script breathe. Despite (or thx to?) all the profanity (506 curse words) you can't help but love the cool dialogue and conversations. Nudity and debauchery have never been framed more gloriously with sweeping camera moves, strategic slomo and creative shot compositions. This film is just so much fun: I've laughed more with this film than almost any other film intended as a comedy I've seen the last 10 years. It's too bad it didn't win any Oscars because it surely deserved them. But I guess that won't bother Marty or anyone else who will see this film. 'Wolf' might be the only true spiritual successor to one of my other all time favorites 'Wall Street' (forget Wall Street 2). DiCaprio and Scorsese make an excellent team and I hope we will get to see a lot more masterpieces from them in the future!
