Martin Scorsese's five-time Academy Award® nominated film, The Age of Innocence,
is a dazzling adaptation of Edith Wharton's classic novel of love and
honor among the aristocracy of old New York. Starring Daniel Day Lewis (Gangs of New York, My Left Foot), Michelle Pfeiffer (I Am Sam, White Oleander), and Winona Ryder (Mr. Deeds, Edward Scissorhands),
this haunting tale of longing and loss follows Newland Archer as he
prepares to marry May Welland and who is forever changed by his
forbidden love for another woman: the mysterious Countess Ellen Olenska.
This volume in the Newmarket Shooting Script® Series features a
facsimile of the film's shooting script, as chosen by the writer and
the director, an introduction by Jay Cocks, commentary from the cast
and crew, and a section entitled "Sources," in which Martin Scorsese
and Jay Cocks identify and detail twenty-two films that influenced them. |
