The Age Of Innocence

Synopsis

Martin Scorsese's elegant, emotionally devastating adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel. It's New York in the 1870s, and lawyer Newland Archer is locked into an advantageous but loveless match with the well-bred May. He becomes increasingly fascinated however, with her cousin, social outcast Countess Olenska. Archer must choose between his own and society's wishes, as he struggles against the restrictive mores of 19th-century upper-class society.
