I’m a huge fan of Martin Scorcese’s films, but I avoided The Wolf Of Wall Street when it was released. The glorification of the excesses of 80s yuppies I found a bit stomach churning. Years later I was flicking […]

The Miles clip’s not there. I would be interested to see how it compares to the description in the book, which is quite academic. One for film studies students and buffs too. I’m going to have to watch Round […]
