The TVI Take

Scorsese's 1993 Edith Wharton adaptation, the film he repeatedly cited as his most violent because Gilded Age New York high society used social-exclusion mechanics rather than guns. Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder anchor; the costuming, table-setting, and conversational-rhythm research are documentary-grade.

Joanne Woodward's narration is the film's structural anchor. Career-defining work outside the gangster register Scorsese is usually identified with.
