The Age of Innocence (1993) Movies

Posted by Mindsnatcher at July 5, 2018

The Age of Innocence would have never materialized without Martin Scorsese's deep admiration and genuine love for the work of the great European masters. Its passion, period texture and glamour, and especially the experience that it offers are quite simply impossible not to compare to those of the lavish classics that the likes of Luchino Visconti and Max Ophüls directed. The film has been newly restored in 4K under the supervision of its creator and looks lovely in high-definition. This upcoming release also features a very nice selection of informative new interviews and programs.

Eighteen Springs (1997)
Based on an Eileen Chang novel, a story of romance and fate set in the Shanghai of the 1930s. Manjing (Wu Chien-lien), a young woman from a once-well-off family, works in a Shanghai factory, where she meets Shujun (Leon Lai), the son of wealthy Nanjing merchants. Despite Shujun's reservations about Manjing's family (her sister, Manlu (Anita Mui) works as a nightclub "hostess"), they manage, in stages, to fall in love. The expected progress through engagement to marriage is interrupted, first by Manjing's ambivalence about taking this step, then by Shujun's rejection of her family, and finally by that family's baroquely conceived abuse and enslavement of Shujun. After a long period of seperation, Shujun and Manjing meet, but realize that their happiness remains only in memory, in a nostalgic re-imagining of opportunities missed, understandings never arrived at.
