New York movies: Metropolitan (1990)
A Princeton undergrad and self-proclaimed radical (Edward Clements) unwittingly falls into a circle of Upper East Siders during black-tie debutante party season—his crosstown address and “limited resources” notwithstanding. Prep auteur Whit Stillman delivers a deeply affectionate look at the collegiate insecurities and overeducated naïveté of Park Avenue high society.—Stephen Garrett
