It is likely one of my favorite books and definitely one of my favorite films by #MartinScorcese . Why I Love ‘The Age of Innocence’ (Mel Campbell Mar 28, 2019 · @medium ) Martin Scorsese’s 1993 high-society period drama may seem an outlier within its director’s oeuvre, but its subtlety and vivid use of symbolism make it one of his greatest films. This short reflection was my contribution to the Scorsese-themed episode of film podcast Hell Is for Hyphenates. Martin Scorsese’s 1993 film The Age of Innocence begins with a montage of flowers unfurling in stop-motion to a lush orchestral theme, superimposed on textures of lace and roundhand calligraphy. The sequence, designed by film-title legends Elaine and Saul Bass, introduces the film’s themes of layering and symbolism. As Joanne Woodward’s wry narration explains, “They all lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world. The real thing was never said or done or even thought, but only represented by a set of arbitrary signs.” In particular, the 19th century was obsessed with the secret language of flowers; and this is a film in which fragile hopes blossom and wilt, small gestures carry savage meanings, and letters have life-changing consequences. . The Age of Innocence isn’t convenient to the truism of Scorsese as a chronicler of masculinity, because it speaks to feminised themes: romantic love and social repression. But it showcases the elegance and subtlety that Scorsese can muster. Adapted from a period novel by Edith Wharton, it’s set in 1870s upper-class New York — a rarefied milieu that, like a hothouse flower, has bloomed and vanished. Scorsese’s gaze is mobile and painterly, filling the frame with textures of clothing and opulent interiors. The graceful society scenes seem to have leapt straight from the artworks on the walls of the grand houses as the camera brushes around salons and dining tables, skimming the heads of ballroom waltzers and bowler-hatted businessmen. Shots dissolve seamlessly into blots of colour. . #artmadebywomen」12月16日 6時05分
