Sag Harbor Cinema to Screen Indie Classic “Metropolitan” with Writer-Director Whit Stillman and Editor Christopher Tellefsen in Person

Sag Harbor Cinema will host writer-director Whit Stillman for a screening of his debut feature Metropolitan (1990) followed by an in-person Q&A on Thursday, January 2nd at 6pm. The filmmaker will be joined by Metropolitan editor and Sag Harbor resident Christopher Tellefsen (Moneyball, A Quiet Place, The People vs. Larry Flynt, The Menu).

 

Stillman, known for his “Doomed. Bourgeois. In Love.” trilogy (Metropolitan, The Last Days of Disco, Barcelona), remains one of the quintessential 90s independent filmmakers. Most recently, the filmmaker wrote and directed Damsels in Distress (2011, starring a young Greta Gerwig) and Love & Friendship (2016, starring Kate Beckinsale and Chloë Sevigny, adapted from Jane Austen’s Lady Susan) as well as the TV series The Cosmopolitans (2014) for Amazon Studios.

“It is a tribute to Whit Stillman’s observant eye, his flawless directing style and the humanity he finds in his characters that all his films seem to carry within a very special evergreen quality. Metropolitan is as fresh and surprising as it was thirty plus years ago. And a perfect film for the holidays,” says Sag Harbor Cinema’s Artistic Director Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan.

 

Whit Stillman

Metropolitan chronicles a young man’s adventures with affluent Park Avenue teenagers over one Christmas vacation. Stillman’s witty, semi-autobiographical screenplay received an Academy Award nomination and an Independent Spirit Award win for its highly observant–and exceedingly hilarious–commentary on Manhattan debutante society (in Metropolitan, “The Sally Fowler Rat Pack”).

 

Stillman’s Metropolitan characters–a collection of melancholic bourgeois teenagers who are highly-privileged, acutely anxious, and overly-educated (which makes for rich dialogue full of literary references and incredibly clever prattling)–inspired decades of irreverent stories about the East Coast Elite.”I had a group that was friendly and funny, charming and silly, and likable, too, so I based the film a bit on this group,” Stillman told BOMB Magazine in 2015. “The characteristics they had in 1969 they still have when I meet them today. Judgmental Jane is still judgmental—and not talking to me.”
