if you like Scorsesse and Romance this is a masterpiece. It just has the visuals of any other Scorsesse film but this time he gets out of his comfort zone on the story.
Apart it breaks the cliche that Scorsesse always puts women in a bad light here Countess Olenska played beautifully by Michelle Pfieffer is an independent smart and modern woman someone ahead of her times but cares to what is right.
she could have easily stolen her cousin's fiancé and she decided to not do it because he wouldn't be then the men she admired.
May also incredibly well played by Winona Ryder she is a little manipulative but she fight for what she believes is hers and gave Newland a way out and asked him if he wanted to cancel the engagement.
Then is Newland the one who created the love triangle and is struggling what he should do if staying with May because they are engaged or cancel everything to be with the woman he loves.
Daniel Day Lewis gives one of his most amazing performances ever he really did a great job of playing this guy trapped in so many rules, like the countess he is open minded and quite ahead of his times he likes with opinions and who apeak their minds.
sooo to anyone who loves a good romance with characters which aren't so black and white and love Scorsesse irs a film i strongly suggest
10/10 .
