Mods, excuse my use of the new post, but it's a new subject to me. And I don't like making posts so big people don't want to read them.
Extreme Beauty of Age of Innocence 1993
One film of extreme visual artistry and beauty is Age of Innocence 1993. The interior design: the wood work, gold inlays, wall paper/paint, wall hangings, rugs, art work, dinner table place settings... oh man, they knocked me off my chair! The beauty was overwhelming. And I'm the farthest thing from an interior decorator there is. This amazing visual art is great, period. It helped the setting, but it didn't make the story or film great. I think it's an elegant film full of nuance, but not one of my best 20 for sure.
This, by the way was a Martin Scorsese film. It won Oscars for won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design, and nominated for Best Art Design. No doubt the Costumes were great, but that's somewhat over my head. I can't imagine a any film being better in Art Design. (Schindler's List won the Oscar for Best Art Director and Set Decoration... no way was it better than Age.)
