Manhattan. Christmas Vacation. Not so long ago…

An ironically comic look at Manhattan’s endangered debutante scene, Metropolitan chronicles 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.

“Irresistibly funny.” – Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“(Whit Stillman) has made a film Scott Fitzgerald might have been comfortable with, a film about people covering their own insecurities with a façade of social ease. And he has written wonderful dialogue, words in which the characters discuss ideas and feelings instead of simply marching through plot points as most Hollywood characters do.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
