Haha thanks for describing a little about this movie-I had recorded it based on your recommendation but haven't watched it yet. I was brought up in "society" so it sounds right up my alley.Cuthbert wrote: ↑January 15th, 2023, 7:35 pm Metropolitan (1990)
This movie is on my ten-best list. It’s one of the great New York movies and is my favorite New York Christmas movie.

At the various dances and after parties in lovely New York apartments during the holiday break, they talk about philosophy (particularly Fourier), romance, literature (particularly Jane Austen) and what they see as the decline of the debutante society in which many of them were raised.
(Like two of the lead characters, I took a cab to the Hamptons once, in an extravagant mood.)
I have to say my most extravagant cab ride was transporting myself & a carousel horse from Hartford CT to NYC's Yale Club to demonstrate painting restoration. I was completely smashed upon arrival, picked up a 90 year old friend as my date & had an unforgettable evening!
