"A comedy of manners of a very high order." - Vincent Canby, New York Times
Saturday, December 7, 5:30 p.m. | Whit Stillman’s (THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO, LOVE & FRIENDSHIP) witty and sophisticated satire METROPOLITAN chronicles of 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. An Academy Award nominee for Best Original Screenplay, winner of the Best First Feature prize at the Independent Spirit Awards, and hailed by critics as one of the best films of 1990, METROPOLITAN is a disarmingly funny social critique that continues to age gracefully, unlike, perhaps, its protagonists. Dialogue: director Whit Stillman.
