Synopsis THE WITTY, OSCAR-NOMlNATED BREAKTHROUGH FROM WHIT STILLMAN
One of the great American independent fiIms of the 1990s, the surprise hit Metropolitan by writer-director WHIT STlLLMAN (Damsels in Distress) is a sparkling comedic chronicIe of a middIe-cIass young man’s romantic misadventures in New York City’s debutante society. StiIlman’s deft, Iiterate diaIogue and hiIariousIy highbrow observations earned this first fiIm an Academy Award nomination for best original screenplay. AIongside the wit and sophistication, though, lies a tender taIe of adolescent anxiety.
