Review of The Age of Innocence (1993) by Jennifer B — 02 Jun 2007
A beautiful film! Martin Scorsese's journey into social construction. Set in the late 19th century, the films evolves through layers of reality, colored by "tradition" confronting the coming of age to an entiire new paradigm.
Gender construction and rol assigments are disected to deliver a powerful argument favoring change. Extremely elocuent performances by Daniel Day Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer. Wynona's character couldn't be better! The cinematography for this film is outsatnding and the camera works could only be described as "superb".
The editing gives the movie an excellent pace, allowing the observer to be taken away into an aristocratic, 19th century New York. Indulge yourself into visual pleasure as you have rarely experienced cinematic aesthetics, like this one, before.
Kudos! to The Age of Innicence...A film for posteriry!
