Metropolitan / USA / 1990
Stillman’s film probably isn’t as critical of the “urban haute bourgeoisie” as he would like to think, considering he treats almost all his characters with intense affection no matter how unsavory they would be in reality, but it’s also not as bad a film as I was led to believe. Unfortunately, I can’t really share Stillman’s misery over the supposed wilting or failure of this entire class of people, especially considering old-money will always dominate the American landscape, even if they have to adjust their lifestyle slightly. At least I now know where Chris Eigeman established his smarmy on-screen personality. I’m also fairly certain that Stillman’s film heavily influence TV’s Gilmore Girls.
