The return of Whit Stillman
March 20, 2012 3:53 PM   Subscribe

"A trio of girls set out to change the male-dominated environment of the Seven Oaks college campus, and to rescue their fellow students from depression, grunge and low standards of every kind." After a 14-year absence, director Whit Stillman (Metropolitan, Barcelona, The Last Days of Disco) returns with Damsels in Distress, hitting theaters April 6. Stars include Greta Gerwig, Aubrey Plaza and Adrien Brody. (Previously)

This post was deleted for the following reason: If you or someone else wants to try this again with some actual substantial links instead of just a bunch of IMDB pages, that'd be fine, but this isn't really a post like this. -- cortex



 
Because an FPP comprised solely of IMDB links seems rather weak, here's recent (two days ago) profile on Stillman and his new film in the New York Times Magazine, which I coincidentally just finished reading.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a post with less substance.

It's thin, sure, but less substance than the plethora of SLYTs that now permate MeFi?

I'm a big fan of Whit Stillman's work, so I'm looking forward to the movie. Greta Gerwig looks like a near clone of Chloe Sevigny, at least in still photos.

I LOVE those movies! Metropolitan especially. Probably in my all time top ten. It was so unexpectedly good. Ditto Last Days of Fisco. Barcelona was not as good but overall those flicks rule

Fisco? Anyway. I love how the characters in those movies talk in ridiculous paragraphical statements. Utterly pretentious yet somehow it works. There's a real humanity to those films and I actually ended up not hating anybody in them even though on paper they like the most people imaginable
