"I was certainly influenced by Blimp when I came to make The Age of Innocence. Because I was drawn into that film by the love story, an impossible love between two people who aren't supposed to fall in love. And it lasts for years. I believed it was the same frustrated desire tinged with regret that I liked so much in Blimp." - Martin Scorsese
