Metropolitan

Last night we watched Metropolitan. I have seen this movie before (a couple of times, actually), and have been wanting to watch it again for a while.

This time around it seemed slightly stiff in parts, but still ranks as a favorite. For a movie shot on a cheap budget, consisting pretty much entirely of dialogue (and American high-society prep-school teenage dialogue, at that), and for a director's debut...
I can't think of too many first projects that would be more difficult to tackle as a writer/director. And for the most part the characters are pulled off naturally and sympathetically.

If you like unusual movies, and dont find 90+ minutes of dialogue/character-study boring, then check this one out.



And I kind of want to watch the Last Days of Disco now (I watched part of this one years ago, I think on TV, but I don't remember making it through the whole thing) - since I just found out that it not only stars the same actress, but has her playing the same character...
