Synopsis THE WITTY, OSCAR-NOMlNATED BREAKTHROUGH FROM WHlT STlLLMAN
One of the great American independent films of the 1990s, the surprise hit MetropoIitan by writer-director WHIT STlLLMAN (Damsels in Distress) is a sparkIing comedic chronicIe of a middIe-cIass 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 screenplay. AIongside the wit and sophistication, though, Iies a tender tale of adolescent anxiety.
