Scences from twows

The Wolf of Wall Street, the new Martin Scorsese film, comes blowing into cinemas with gusts of outrage at its back. Scorsese’s 23rd feature in almost 50 years – and best in more than 20 – is based on a memoir by the stockbroker Jordan Belfort, who founded the investment firm Stratton Oakmont in an abandoned Long Island garage, and spent much of the Nineties swindling his way to an enormous personal fortune.

In the end, The Wolf of Wall Street is an outrageous and repugnant reflection of something very real and very rotten at the core of our society.

Some of that money went towards funding the kind of social life that might have made Caligula’s hair fall out, although the party finally came to an end in 1998, when Belfort was indic ted by the FBI for securities fraud and money-laundering.

Scorsese shows us this, but he’s mostly concerned with Belfort’s fast and cynical route to the top, and the near-limitless supplies of girls and drugs he finds there. A typical week at Stratton Oakmont involves dwarf-tossing, naked marching bands, and a spectacle Belfort describes as a “stripper stampede”. As such, the film stands accused of glamourising his crimes, ignoring his victims and failing to satisfy the audience’s need to see justice served.

To those who might wish to avoid a film by the maker of Tron: Legacy, it should be stressed that Oblivion is a more interesting work by a good distance, an imaginative

“Oblivion is a more interesting work” speculative piece set some six decades hence that always engages serious attention, even if it doesn’t convincingly jell.

In mood, a certain delicacy and the sense of isolation both on a depopulated Earth and somewhere above it, the recent film that this most strongly recalls is WALL-E, except with violence and without the humor and charm of the Pixar classic.

Based on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel Xerxes and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster “300,” this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield-on the sea-as Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. “300: Rise of an Empire” pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemisia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy.
