Movie description
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.

Notes
Theatrical release: September 17, 1993. (It was originally scheduled to be released the previous autumn but was delayed in order to allow Scorsese to edit the film to his satisfaction.)

Most of the film was shot on location in New York City; Troy, New York; the Academy of Music in Philadelphia; and the Musée de Louvre in Paris. Filming began March 26, 1992, in Troy, New York, and was completed in Paris that June.

Estimated budget $30-$40 million.

Scorsese dedicated this film to his father, Luciano Charles Scorsese, who died at the age of 80 on August 23, 1993. A former garment worker with an eye for period details, Charles often acted as adviser on his son's movies. He also appeared in brief parts in GOODFELLAS, THE KING OF COMEDY, THE COLOR OF MONEY, CAPE FEAR, and Brian De Palma's WISE GUYS. In 1974, Martin produced the documentary ITALIANAMERICAN about his parents, Charles and Catherine, married for 60 years. They briefly appear in the train station sequence featured in THE AGE OF INNOCENCE.

When the film screened at the 1993 Venice Film Festival, it received largely unflattering criticism. One notable exception was the Italian communist daily Il Manifesto, which hailed the film as an indictment of capitalist bourgeois sensibilities.
