Really, not nearly enough people have seen Martin Scorsese's wonderful interpretation of Edith Wharton's classic love story of repression, "The Age of Innocence."
A seeming anomaly in the Scorsese canon (no mafia or classic rock), "Innocence" is a sweet, sincere, tendure, bitter, enduring and truly underrated film. A period romance of painful restraint and yearning, mere thoughts are more sexual and involved and thought out than whole sex scenes here. Daniel Day-Louis is the lead and Michelle Pfeiffer somehow never looks bad in movies. This is Scorsese, pleasantly unexpected.
Now, I loaned this to my sister a while back, insisting that she watch it. She'd love it. But sometimes, people think that getting stupid ass PhD's are more important. Yeah, whatever. Brain-y.
Let's stick it to Lis!
Ch-ch-check it out:
