Metropolitan

Whit Stillman makes his directorial debut with this comedy of manners, for which he also provides the script. In New York, quiet middle-class student Tom (Edward Clements) finds himself adopted by a bunch of wealthy upper East Side debutantes and their boyfriends. All his preconceptions about the rich are questioned as they reveal themselves through conversation.

'Metropolitan' forms a loose trilogy with the director's other two films, 'Barcelona' and 'The Last Days of Disco'.
