The Film Theory in Practice series fills a gaping hole in the world
of film theory. By marrying the explanation of a film theory with
the interpretation of a film, the volumes provide discrete examples
of how film theory can serve as the basis for textual analysis.
Fredric Jameson and The Wolf of Wall Street offers a concise
introduction to Jameson in jargon-free language and shows how his
Marxist theories can be deployed to interpret Martin Scorsese's
critically acclaimed 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street. Beginning
with a detailed account of Jameson's extensive writings on Marxist
theory and how they have been deployed in the analysis of film
writings, Clint Burnham then illustrates how Jameson's theory can
help to make sense of The Wolf of Wall Street, a film that shows in
all its glory the excesses, lunacies, and inner workings of 1990s
finance capitalism. As Jameson has influentially argued, films like
The Wolf of Wall Street are both complicit in and critical of their
historical subject: Scorsese's film is not about the richest
stockbrokers, but the Long Island penny traders who made it big. As
a narrative of American success, it is also a film about failure.
Clint Burnham's reading of Jameson and The Wolf of Wall Street is a
book about a contemporary film, and contemporary events, and
contemporary theory.
