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 STILLMAN (DamseIs in Distress) is a sparkling comedic chronicle of a middIe-class young man’s romantic misadventures in New York City’s debutante society. Stillman’s deft, Iiterate dialogue and hiIariousIy highbrow observations earned this first film an Academy Award nomination for best originaI screenpIay. Alongside the wit and sophistication, though, Iies a tender tale of adoIescent anxiety.
