The Wolf of Wall Street (ITV4) – On Tuesday 11th April at 01:00 CET.

If you’re a fan of dark comedy and true stories that explore the excesses and debauchery of the wealthy, then you won’t want to miss The Wolf of Wall Street.

Directed by Martin Scorsese, this film is a thrilling and exhilarating ride through the decadence and corruption of New York’s high-flying finance industry. DiCaprio’s charismatic and physical lead performance is perfectly complemented by a sterling cast, including Jonah Hill as Belfort’s larger-than-life sidekick Donnie.

What sets The Wolf of Wall Street apart from other movies of its kind is its flat-out black comedy tone, with farcical X-rated laughs that perfectly offset the savagely funny Sopranos-style dialogue.
