A new Scorsese movie is always a significant cultural event, but wouldn’t normally be relevant to this blog. However his latest, The Wolf of Wall Street, apparently features a scene with a dominatrix (played by Christina Jeffs) and Leonardo DiCaprio. More specifically, it feature a scene where said dominatrix sticks a candle into Leonardo’s asshole. I’ve not seen it yet, but I’m now feeling that popcorn and a movie could be in my near future.
Apparently the original book featured the candle being stuffed where the sun doesn’t shine, but it was toned down for the movie script into a simple hot wax splashing scene. The lead actress, Margot Robbie, thought this was a cop-out and said as much…
“I kind of provoked Leo into doing it, and I can’t believe he did,” Robbie continues. “I said if he was committed to the role, then he would do it properly.” DiCaprio worked up the courage to make the suggestion to Scorsese, who loved the idea. “And then the prop man had to light the candle,” says Schoonmaker, who notes that DiCaprio didn’t use a body double for any of his nude scenes.
From a Variety Magazine article.
I love the fact that the actors wanted to do this and Scorsese went for it. But I really love that comment about the prop man. He must have had an interesting conversation with his wife that evening when she asked him how his day had gone – “Oh, you know, the usual. Shifted some furniture, located a missing costume, lit a candle stuck up Leonardo DiCaprio’s ass. Same old, same old.”
Annoyingly the internet has failed me and I can’t find an image from this particular scene. So instead I’ll have to finish with Margot Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio in an alternative shot that has some fun fetishistic and femdom overtones.
Here is a link to my tumblr that shows that scene. 😉

Thanks Vista! I knew somebody out there must have that scene. Glad you could point me to it. I’ve featured the link in my post today. Sure there will be plenty of interest!
And I didn’t realize you had a tumblr. I’ll have to add it to my image page.

Kudos to the movie makers of that film for not picking the usual dominatrix stereotype for Christina Jeffs’s role.
Well as an actress she doesn’t necessarily look like the stereotypical dominatrix, but the scene Vista pointed at does have her in a very stereotypical dominatrix get-up. I’ve not seen the movie itself to see how it plays out at length.

Damn! How did I miss this blog post when you wrote it…? My bad!
The dominatrix in the movie was named Venice, and yes, she put a candle in DiCaprio’s ass. He used his safeword. The entire thing was fucking hilarious.
I definitely recommend the movie. It is ludicrous, and it is about a very unlikable person, but it is extremely entertaining. Keep in mind: Scorsese specializes in films about gangsters. This is just a film about white-collar gangsters.
I laughed so hard.
Thanks for blogging.
Thanks for the background on the movie. Definitely want to see it. There have been some mixed reviews. Some saying it glorifies the criminal and others that he’s so unlikable it couldn’t possibly glorify him or his behavior. I love Scorsese – Goodfellas is one of my favorite movies – so looking forward to this.
