The exquisite violence of The Age of Innocence

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas travel to 1870s New York, where we meet a wealthy dandy who is engaged to be married to a respectable woman, but finds himself falling for her unconventional cousin.We take the Filaversary arc on a journey through time to the gilded age with Martin Scorsese's 1993 adaptation of Edith Wharton's THE AGE OF INNOCENCE, starring Daniel DAY-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder. Referred to as his "most violent movie" by the director himself, join us as we explore this meticulously crafted film that is full of decadence and cutting dialogue. It's an interesting period for Scorsese, in the oft-overlooked post-GoodFellas 90s era. With three stellar leads, beautiful costumes, exquisite production design, and a story of repressed passion between two individuals who can't act on their love (despite everyone knowing about it) or they could face blunt force ostracisation from their elite social circle, and thus they are doomed to live as the subject of hot gossip. It's pretty damn good, and pretty damn Scorsese if you give it a chance..."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."If you enjoy the podcast, leave a Rating and Review!
