Description

Martin Scorsese, one of the great directors of our time, directs Oscar®-winner Daniel Day-Lewis (1989 Best Actor, My Left Foot), Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder in a brilliant adaptation of Edith Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. A ravishing romance about three wealthy New Yorkers caught in a tragic love triangle, the ironically-titled story chronicles the grandeur and hypocrisy of high society in the 1870s. At the center of the film is Newland Archer (Day-Lewis), an upstanding attorney who secretly longs for a more passionate life. Engaged to the lovely but ordinary socialite May Welland (Ryder), Newland resigns himself to a life of quiet complacency. But when May's unconventional cousin returns to New York amid social and sexual scandal, Newland risks everything for a chance at true love. THE AGE OF INNOCENCE is a spellbinding portrait of hidden romance and regret.

    I first saw this movie in the cinema around the age of 14-15 and I remember loving the beautiful dresses and I knew it was a love story but it wasn't till my 20s that I revisited the story and the movie and I have to say it made me feel an immense variation of feelings! I am in love with this story! It is beautifully crafted by a true artist, Martin Scorsese. He shows us the contrast so well on how everything seems so beautiful and yet how society was so brutal. Violent in a sense and in the midst two hearts that can't unit because of this hypocritical lifestyle. Beautiful, heart wrenching and yes, a true classic!

    This movie should be viewed in Widescreen! There is so much to see, standard format just kills the lushness of this movie

    It's a long slog, dry and very tough to connect to the characters. Or is it the acting? The directing is probably at fault. This movie takes itself too seriously. There is little humor or charm but lots of pretty houses filled with overstuffed furniture.

  • GREAT CLASSIC

    End of the Victorian period film set in artistocratic NY, told by the master film-maker of New York, under-appreciated Martin Scorsese. Daniel Day Lewis, Geraldine Chaplin and Michelle Pfeiffer lead the all star cast, narrated by Joanne Woodward, in this story of unrequited love.

  • SLOW COMPLICATED MOVIE!

    While the acting was great, this movie dragged at several points. I love the original story, but I had to force myself to watch this until it got to the more interesting parts.

  • A hit!!

    I first fell in love with Edith Wharton when I read "Summer". Then proceeded to fall in love all over again with "The Age of Innocence". I was a little aprehensive about watching the film adaptation, but soon came to realize the brilliant performance of the cast. Not to mention the directing! It's a definate 5 star movie, a must see!
