Welcome to DEATH BY ADAPTATION, a bi-weekly book club where we choose one classic book and compare and contrast it against its cinematic adaptations.
In this episode, we discuss the Nobel prize-winning THE AGE OF INNOCENCE by Edith Wharton, and the 1993 adaptation directed by Martin Scorsese. We talk about the hypocrisies of high-class society, the splendid performances by Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder, and what true love really is.
