"They live in a world I dimly knew existed, but one as alien to me as if they belonged to a tribe in the Amazon." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

In Whit Stillman's Oscar®-nominated classic METROPOLITAN, a group of young upper-class Manhattanites are in the midst of their gala debutante season when an unusual outsider joins them and stirs things up.

Having been a New Yorker of a similar social class and era depicted, there was a lot of nostalgia associated with viewing this film. Beyond this I recognized--at least in my mind--all the characters, who I felt were true to themselves and human nature. Aside from my own reasons for liking the film, it is hard to imagine a better treatment of a particular emerging generation. It should have universal appeal.
