About this deal
Jordan’s second wife Naomi is too smart to be considered a trophy catch; she initially seems sensitive but soon proves capable of repaying in kind the abuse she takes from her worthless Rajah of a husband. Sheer proximity to Jordan requires that Naomi get tough, if only to protect her daughter. Naomi is no scheming Borgia, even though we suspect as much when she nominates her socialite Aunt Emma (Joanna Lumley) to help Jordan hide his taxable cash by putting it in a Swiss bank, under Aunt Emma’s name. Arrow Films is proud to present a director-approved 4K transfer (making its UK premiere) of this extraordinary ode to American excess, in a special edition as sleek and sharp as the Wolf himself.

Wolf of Wall Street 4K UHD - Blueprint: Review The Wolf of Wall Street 4K UHD - Blueprint: Review
The only real benefit to “upgrading” to this 4K edition is, you guessed it, the picture quality. I recently rewatched the movie on Blu-ray (had I known a 4K version was on the horizon, I’d have waited) so this gave me the perfect opportunity to do a little comparison. First off, there’s not a night and day difference. There usually never is between a new film between its Blu-ray and 4K counterparts. But there were instances in which the HDR did make a lasting impression. Tiny nuances like the texture of suits, the deeper colors which gave the actors more of a “bronz’ish” look. Detail has been improved, albeit slightly. And that’s the thing with 4K releases. Unless it’s something that’s in dire need of an upgrade, you really have to look for what’s improved and what might just be a placebo effect. The question you have to ask is – is it worth it to you?

Arrow's release offers secure technical merits and outstanding supplements. Highly Bringing this outrageous tale to the big screen finds Scorsese firing on all cylinders. While the surface subject matter of Wall Street and high finance may feel like unfamiliar territory for the director, for anyone familiar with his work, it swiftly becomes apparent that The Wolf of Wall Street is a spiritual successor to Goodfellas, with Scorsese mirroring not only that film’s overarching themes but also recapturing the exuberant filmmaking techniques that cemented it as a peerless technical masterclass. From the wry voice over to the dark humour, from the explosive filmmaking to the propulsive plot, and, most vitally of all, in the narrative arc of a young man being seduced into an amoral world where he’ll eventually loose his soul, it comes as little surprise that The Wolf of Wall Street is now seen as a version of Goodfellas where bankers have replaced gangsters.
