w/d Whit Stillman
An oddly successful film. It deals with a pack of preppies who attend parties and formal dances every evening during the Christmas school break in NYC. They talk and talk...and then they talk some more...but it never gets boring or seems stage bound.
They voice their insecurities, fears, jealousies...really just about all that they are at that tender age. They dramatize their predicaments, fall in and out of love and somehow get through it and return to real life when it's over.
And in spite of my class hostility at these wastrels...I liked it. Go figure.
