A three-time Oscar-winner, editor Thelma Schoonmaker is a longtime collaborator of Martin Scorsese. In The Age of Innocence , Scorsese and Schoonmaker offer a sweeping, sumptuous adaptation of Edith Wharton’s tragic novel that explores class, lust, and love in 1870s New York. Mild-mannered lawyer Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis) becomes embroiled in a love triangle with the young and distinguished May Welland (Winona Ryder) and her newly separated cousin Ellen Olenska (Michelle Pfeiffer). Released after the one-two punch of Goodfellas and Cape Fear , The Age of Innocence is an electric portrait of obsession.

DIRECTOR: Martin Scorsese.

CAST: Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Winona Ryder, Geraldine Chaplin. 1993. 139 min. USA. Color. Scope. English. 35mm. New print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive.
