Review of The Age of Innocence (1993) by Ashley H — 05 Mar 2008
[i]The Age of Innocence[/i] is simply the best work by director Martin Scorcese and is deservedly entitled to the numerous accolades it has received. Mr. Scorcese's style and panache is elaborate in his film adaptation of Edith Wharton's moving novel of a forbidden love and desideration between the two.
Michelle Pfeiffer gives the most heart-wrenching performance as the object of desire. Daniel Day Lewis is the tortured lover who must choose, a promise of marriage to Mae (Winona Ryder) or risk his stalwart reputation in society to express his love for Pfeiffer.
The cinematography is beautiful and cast is phenomenal. I highly recommend this film to everyone.
