Metropolitan is a charming film about a group of young folk in New York City struggling with concepts of reality, there place in life, and their status and class. This film has all the trappings of a haughty film, but actually comes across as charming and interesting. The young folk gather together nightly at a club house in New York, escorting the girls of the group for the night, and then returning to a friends apartment to drink, smoke and discuss politics, class issues and there own lives. The group slowly drifts apart over time, as people leave for better climbs, friendships stretch and break, and new flames are introduced. The story largely revolves around a growing infatuation between two of the group members, and show cases the awkward tension surrounding their relationship.
This was a film that was quite charming, funny, and tinged with melancholy. The film revolves around declining friendships, showing how easy it is for people who once saw each other daily to suddenly drift away and become strangers. I enjoyed the tone of the film very much, as well as the well acted characters (all new actors at the time) and the direction of the film. All things told, this is a "Wes Anderson-esque" film, with charming upper crust individuals struggling to determine the best way to live, grow and continue ones life.
