Whit Stillman’s chatty 1990 classic, “Metropolitan”, about a “middle class young man’s romantic misadventures among New York City’s debutante society”, will finally be released by Criterion for a Valentine’s Day release. The film, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, often plays like a modern-day chip off Jane Austen’s block. Essentially a story about the decline of romance in urban civilization, the film follows Tom Townsend, a Pomfret-grad ‘Marxist’ who falls in with the deb crowd one night by sharing a taxi to Park Ave. You love to hate these people, and then just end up loving them. Watch out for this one in February!
