	Movies - Metropolitan

Metropolitan is the first film by director and screenwriter Whit Stillman. Shot on location in Manhattan and Long Island, the movie depicts the lives of young, wealthy New Yorkers (referring to themselves as "urban haute bourgeoisie") during debutante ball season while home for winter break in their first year of college. Middle-class Tom Townsend, an admirer of Fourier's socialism, observes this comedy of manners with an outsider's distance but eventually becomes deeply attached to the characters he meets.

After several years of being unavailable in any home video format, Metropolitan was released on DVD by the Criterion Collection on February 14, 2006. This edition includes audio commentary by Whit Stillman, editor Christopher Tellefsen, and actors Chris Eigeman and Taylor Nichols.
