Maybe Mr. Belfort didn’t look that bad after ingesting all that stuff! I think they tried to make Leonard DiCaprio somewhat the worse for wear.
Also, some people can do prodigious amounts of drugs and it just doesn’t affect them in the way it does other folks, who just crater. Think of Richard Burton and his drinking. I would fall down with a godawful migraine after three cocktails, let alone a fifth of Scotch! Having said all this, WOLF is entertaining, but the film covers much of the same territory as GOODFELLAS and CASINO. The real subject - which to some extent IS celebrated - is excess. It’s like GOODFELLAS GO TO WALL STREET. K.
