Re-watched 'Wolf of Wall Street' on Blu-Ray.
I thought this was probably the best film of last year when I saw it at the cinema, despite the mixed-to-postive reviews and not getting a single BAFTA, or Oscar. I wondered if it would hold up as well on a second viewing and it does.
Scorsese and Schoonmaker were on fire with this movie despite a combined age of 145. There is this bit where they rapidly jumpcut forward in time across several years in time with the music, then just cut back in time for a quick gag, cut forward again and then continue the story seemlessly. They are just playing with film with carefree abandon. Younger filmmakers need to get some guts.
Plus it's a laugh riot from start to finish. A frequent criticism was that it doesn't offer any morality, which was a big factor in why I loved it. It never does that 'Wall Street' cop out.
