    • Trivia
      Jay Cocks first gave his friend Martin Scorsese a copy of Edith Wharton's novel in 1980. At the time, he told Scorsese, "When you do that romantic piece, this one is you." It took Scorsese seven years to finally get around to reading the book.
    • Goofs
      When Mrs. Mingott tries to give a party in honor of Countess Olenska, not one of her invitations is accepted, but the handwriting is the same on each separate refusal.
    • Quotes

      Newland: You gave me my first glimpse of a real life. Then you asked me to go on with the false one. No one can endure that.

      Ellen: I'm enduring it.

    A Stunning Law Breaker
    I saw "The Aviator" a couple of days ago and while I still have Howard Hughes flying through my brain I felt the need to see again another Scorsese. I have all of his films in my collection. I closed my eyes and picked one, just like that, at random. "The Age Of Innocence" This is what happens with great artists, you can always re visit them and you'll come out of the experience with something new, something valuable. Transported by the sublime voice of Joanne Woodward I took the trip again to discover that everything in this extraordinary universe that Martin Scorsese, based on Edith Wharton work, is not what it appears. Conventions out of the window, breaking every imaginable rule. Just as the characters get off their trucks, swimming against the tide of the times. Scorsese breaks cinematic rules with such artistry that we're allow to inspect, re live and enjoy a story as old as the world from a completely new perspective. Is as if Luchino Visconti had suddenly woken up with a new contemporary sight to look back with. Daniel Day Lewis is so marvelous that the pain of his predicament becomes more than visual, becomes visceral. For Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder this was the zenith of their careers. They are sensational. The casting, as usual in a Scorsese film, is superb even in the smallest roles. Glimpses of Sian Phillips, Alexis Smith and Geraldine Chaplin add to the pleasures, making this overwhelming banquet of a film one of the most rewarding film experiences I've ever had.
