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 (or as one character attempts to rebrand them, the "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.

- We'll share it.
- But I don't want it.

No, we'll share it. I insist.
That way there'll be no ill feelings.

- Are you going to Sally's too?
- No.

Well, that settles it. Come with us.
That way we'll all be going the same direction.
