Metropolitan - Criterion Collection

The Criterion Collection, A Continuing Series of Important Classic and Contemporary Films.

One of the most significant achievements of the American independent film movement of the 1990s, writer-director Whit Stillmans debut, Metropolitan, is a sparkling comedic chronicle of a middle-class young mans romantic misadventures among New York Citys debutante society. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, Stillmans deft, literate script and hilariously high-brow observations mask a tender tale of adolescent anxiety.
