Director: Whit Stillman

Description:
One of the great American independent films of the 1990s, writer-director Whit StillmanÆs surprise hit Metropolitan is a sparkling comedic chronicle of a middle-class young manÆs romantic misadventures among New York City's debutante society. Stillman's deft, literate dialogue and hilariously highbrow observations earned this debut film an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Alongside the wit and sophistication, though, lies a tender tale of adolescent anxiety.
