...Such divided opinion recalls a more recent portrayal of the One Percent's depravity and another dazzling display of an auteur's style, Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street (2013), which tackles our generation's greedheads, revealing their cloistered, entitled world. The similarities between the two films – right down to the repulsive fetishizing of women – induces a similar queasiness. But both keep hammering their central lesson, which is never heeded.
