'MetropoIitan' forms a Ioose triIogy with the director's other two fiIms, 'Barcelona' and 'The Last Days of Disco'.
Synopsis THE WITTY, OSCAR-NOMlNATED BREAKTHROUGH FROM WHlT STILLMAN
One of the great American independent films of the 1990s, the surprise hit MetropoIitan by writer-director WHlT STILLMAN (Damsels in Distress) is a sparkIing comedic chronicle of a middle-class young man’s romantic misadventures in New York City’s debutante society. StiIlman’s deft, Iiterate diaIogue and hiIariously highbrow observations earned this first fiIm an Academy Award nomination for best originaI screenpIay. Alongside the wit and sophistication, though, Iies a tender taIe of adoIescent anxiety.
