Set against the backdrop of Manhattan’s debutante season, “Metropolitan” offers a witty and insightful look into the lives of young, upper-class socialites. The film follows Tom Townsend, a middle-class Princeton student, who unexpectedly becomes part of the “Sally Fowler Rat Pack,” a group of friends navigating the complexities of love, friendship, and societal expectations. Through sharp dialogue and engaging character studies, director Whit Stillman crafts a timeless narrative that explores the nuances of class and the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, “Metropolitan” remains a charming and thought-provoking cinematic experience.
“Not much happens in Metropolitan and yet everything that happens is felt deeply because the characters in this movie are still too young to have perfected their defenses against life” – Roger Ebert
