Edith Wharton wrote in a brilliantly minor key, and it is a testament

to Martin Scorsese's genius as a filmmaker that he disciplined

himself to work within Wharton's parameters, instead of trying to

force his trademark kinetic style onto a story of tragic whispering. A

beautiful, heartfelt film, with a superb performance from Daniel

Day-Lewis(really, what else could you expect?).
