The Age Of Innocence (1993) ****

Sandwiched between Cape Fear (1991) and Casino (1995), The Age Of Innocence (1993) proves that Scorsese can make a romantic period drama just as well as he can a sizzling suspense thriller or a violent gangster epic. Featuring compelling performances, gorgeous cinematography, exceptional costume design, and a sumptuous score by the prolific Elmer Bernstein, Innocence is an engaging story of love and sacrifice set in nineteenth century New York high society that even someone who doesn't generally like period dramas, such as myself, can appreciate.
