Metropolitan (1990)

In person appearance by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Whit Stillman — (Barcelona (1994), The Last Days of Disco (1998), Damsels in Distress (2011), and Love & Friendship (2016)) Nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay "Irresistibly funny!" — The New York Times "Whit Stillman's crafty independent feature about wealthy Park Avenue teenagers and a middle-class boy who joins their ranks over one Christmas vacation is certainly well imagined, and impressively acted by a cast of newcomers." — Chicago Reader A radical student is adopted by a group of young New Yorkers, serves as a catalyst to alter his and their lives. Gathering in a Manhattan apartment, the group of friends meet to discuss social mobility, Fourier's socialism and play bridge in their cocoon of upper-class society - until they are joined by a man with a critical view of their way of life. Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and winner of Best New Director at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards and Best First Feature at the Independent Spirit Awards, METROPOLITAN is an ironically comic look at Manhattan's endangered debutante scene, chronicling the rise and ultimate decline of a group of young Park Avenue socialites who gather nightly to discuss love, honor, and the impending demise of their class. METROPOLITAN has secured its place as an off-beat holiday classic with a picturesque and snowy New York providing the perfect backdrop for its ensemble cast's philosophical musings.ComedyPT1H39MPG-132024-12-18
