The Age of Innocence
(1993)
Directed by Martin
Scorsese this film based on the novel of the same name stars Daniel
Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder. In 1870s New York an
upper class man engaged to a young woman with traditional values
falls for her cousin who is linked to scandal.
It takes a fair amount
of time for the plot of this film to get interesting, for large parts
it is fairly average love triangle stuff till the last act that has
some decent twist of events. Maybe the story lacks much depth but
does reflect the stilted nature of the period it represents. As with
any Scorsese film this is a well made effort with a good sporting
cast.
4/5
