English Summary:
The Age of Innocence is a 1993 American historical romantic drama film directed by Martin Scorsese. The screenplay, an adaptation of the 1920 novel The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, was written by Scorsese and Jay Cocks. The film stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Winona Ryder and Miriam Margolyes, and was released by Columbia Pictures. The film recounts the courtship and marriage of Newland Archer (Day-Lewis), a wealthy New York society attorney, to May Welland (Ryder); Archer then encounters and legally represents the Countess Olenska (Pfeiffer) prior to unexpected romantic entanglements.
In 1870s New York City, gentleman lawyer Newland Archer is planning to marry the respectable young May Welland. May's cousin, the American heiress Countess Ellen Olenska, has returned to New York after a disastrous marriage to a dissolute Polish Count. At first she is ostracized by society and vicious rumors are spread, but, as May's family boldly stands by the Countess, she is gradually accepted by the very finest of New York's old families.
The Countess is snubbed at one social party arranged by her family, but with the help of Archer she is able to make a comeback at an event being hosted by the wealthy Van der Luydens. There she makes the acquaintance of one of New York's established financiers, Julius Beaufort, who has a reputation for risky affairs and dissipated habits. He begins to openly flirt with the Countess both in public and in private. Archer prematurely announces his engagement to May, but as he comes to know the Countess, he begins to appreciate her unconventional views on New York society and he becomes increasingly disillusioned with his new fiancée May and her innocence, lack of personal opinion, and sense of self.
Hungarian Summary:
Két neves és gazdag család sarja készül egybekelni: Newland, az ügyvéd és az elragadó May. Ám a férfi nem sokkal eljegyzése után megismerkedik menyasszonya rokonával, a kétes hírű Ellen Olenskával. A 19. század végi New York előkelő köreiben botrányt keltett, hogy a lengyel grófhoz feleségül ment Ellen elhagyta férjét, és visszatért Európából. Az ügyvéd, mint a helyi előkelő társaság megbecsült tagja, társadalmi rangját, befolyását felhasználva segít helyreállítani Olenska grófné megtépázott hírnevét. Az idő múlásával egyre erősebb vonzalom ébred benne az asszony iránt, egyre jobban lenyűgözi, ahogy Ellen hadat üzen a társasági illemnek és képmutatásnak. Míg az elvált asszony önállósága Newland számára ellenállhatatlan vonzerő, addig a szerelmesek családja szemében botrány. A képmutató környezet mindent megtesz kapcsolatuk ellen.
