THE WITTY Oscar-nominated BREAKTHROUGH FROM WHIT STILLMAN One of the great American independent films of the 1990s the surprise hit Metropolitan by writer-director WHIT STILLMAN (Damsels in Distress) is a sparkling comedic chronicle of a middle-class young man’s romantic misadventures in New York City’s debutante society. Stillman’s deft literate dialogue and hilariously highbrow observations earned this first film an Academy Award nomination for best original screenplay. Alongside the wit and sophistication though lies a tender tale of adolescent anxiety.Features:Restored high-definition digital transfer supervised by director Whit Stillman and cinematographer John Thomas with uncompressed monaural soundtrackAudio commentary by Stillman editor Christopher Tellefsen and actors Chris Eigeman and Taylor NicholsRare outtakes and alternate casting with commentary by Stillman
