The Age of Innocence (1993)

Director: Martin Scorsese
Writers:  Edith Wharton (novel), Martin Scorsese, Jay Cocks
Cast:      Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Winona Ryder
Tale of the  19th century New York high society in which a young lawyer falls in love with a woman separated from her husband, while he is engaged to the woman's cousin.

Didn't really think this period was really gonna engross me but  it did. Good to see Daniel Day-Lewis playing a character with subtle emotions compared to the showy for which he gets much praise. Still would like to see him playing a normal role in a contemporary picture.

Rating: 4.5/5
