Sometimes the pat line is the only one. About 30 minutes into Metropolitan, the line entered my mind, and simply would not leave.

ReplyDeletethe comment was from me
ReplyDeleteYeah Bill...I like Whit Stillman and yet I struggle with him too. Still, most directors who try to move me with the old ennui of the upper classes (see Eric Rohmer) leave me cold and saying, "why do I care about these people"? Stillman, however, does not. In fact, he often makes me feel for these people, as well as feeling I'd like to hang around with them. Maybe it's the actors, but I think it's acombination of the script, actors, and a subtle director's touch.
