Martin Scorseses The Age of Innocence (1993), adapted from Edith Whartons Pulitzer Prize winning novel, stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder in a tale of forbidden love and rigid social codes in 1870s New York. With lush period detail and Scorseses keen eye for power and repression, it is a lavish drama of passion versus propriety.

Criterion Collection

No filmmaker captures the grandeur and energy of New York like Martin Scorsese. With this sumptuous romance, he meticulously adapted the work of another great New York artist, Edith Wharton, bringing to life her tragic novel set in the cloistered world of Gilded Age Manhattan. The Age of Innocence tells the story of Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis), whose engagement to an innocent socialite (Winona Ryder) binds him to the codes and rituals of his upbringing. But when her cousin (Michelle Pfeiffer) arrives in town on a wave of scandal after separating from her husband, she ignites passions in Newland he never knew existed. Swelling with exquisite period detail, this film is an alternately heartbreaking and satirical look at the brutality of old-world America.
