Leonardo DiCaprio discusses his role in The Wolf Of Wall Street, directed by Martin Scorsese. The film is a satire and cautionary tale depicting the rise and fall (and all of the excesses) of a stockbroker on Wall Street during the late 80s and early 90s. Based on the memoir of the same name by Jordan Belfort, the film has been nominated for a total of five Oscars this year, including best actor, best picture and best director. Even if the film does not win any Oscars it is already in the record books, containing as it does more expletives than any other commercially released film in movie history.
