About this product

Product Information

Set in 1870s New York, Martin Scorsese's THE AGE OF INNOCENCE examines the tyranny of tradition and family heritage--and the tragic consequences of breaking society's unspoken rules. Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis), an upstanding gentleman and partner in a lucrative and conservative law firm, is engaged to the perfect society woman, the pretty and polished May Welland (Winona Ryder). They are hoping to push forward their wedding date when Newland meets Countess Ellen Olenska (Michelle Pfeiffer), May's beautiful, cosmopolitan, and scandal-ridden cousin. Ellen, who has resided in Europe and cultivated a more permissive continental sensibility, believes she's found a kindred spirit in Newland. Slowly the two fall in love, and Ellen entices Newland with the vision of a life not ruled by the rigid guidelines of New York's stuffy upper crust. But May represents all the temptations and benefits of wealth, position, and propriety. Newland must make the painful choice between a passionate life with Ellen and a placid, safe life with May--the life he was born and raised to lead. In adapting the classic novel by Edith Wharton, Scorsese meticulously reconstructs the elegant world of mid-19th-century Manhattan, using an onslaught of materialistic vices--including an endless barrage of sumptuous foods--to capture the elite world even more fastidiously.

High quality DVD of "The Age Of Innocence" famous movie of super-rich 19th century New Yorkers.
I saw the movie "The Age of Innocence", Edith Wharton's story of a love triangle among the immensely rich New York City upper class in the 19th century. All actors are superb. The elaborate clothes, fashions, interiors of houses are a treat for the eyes. These upper class New Yorkers lived like European royalties. Outwardly they acted like genteel royalty. Near the end of the story all members of this elite club reveal themselves as hypocrites with an exquisite attribute of cruelty. I enjoyed watching the DVD. It is of very good quality at a very fair price.

Great job!
Anytime you can pair up two national treasures such as Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer, you get close enough to perfect as you can get. The 1993 adaptation of Edith Wharton’s “The Age of Innocence” is a fantastic film! It’s a shame that Daniel’s retired now. We miss him!

Truly amassing decorations in the different home settings of the movie. Not a thriller, but entertaining.

A Trip To The Past
This has been a trip to the past and how life was for some, and the way they thought, and how some still try to be. Good performance by all.
