The Age of Innocence

Martin Scorsese directed The Age of Innocence, a 1993 American historical romantic drama film. Scorsese and Jay Cocks wrote the script, which is based on Edith Wharton's 1920 classic The Age of Innocence. Columbia Pictures released the picture, which stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Winona Ryder, and Miriam Margolyes. The film follows Newland Archer (Day-Lewis), a rich New York society attorney, romance and marriage to May Welland (Ryder); Archer then meets and legally represents Countess Olenska (Pfeiffer) prior to unanticipated sexual entanglements.

Martin Scorsese's beautiful adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel is a harrowing and personal romance film—a significant change from the director's most well-known works. Day-Lewis also plays Newland Archer, a member of Manhattan's upper crust who falls in love with a wrecked lady in a scandalous way (played by Michelle Pfeiffer). Day-Lewis is known for playing gruff and belligerent characters who are usually the sharpest man in the room, in charge of numerous plots and plans. He lets down his guard here, revealing compassion that makes him an unexpected counterbalance for the strong-willed women in his orbit.
