Great Scene: “Metropolitan”

In a movie dominated by dialogue — great dialogue, it should be noted — this pretty much constitutes one of the film’s two ‘action’ scenes. It’s Nick vs. the despicable Rick Von Sloneker, one of the more memorable moments in this wonderful 1990 movie written and directed by Whit Stillman.

I had the great pleasure of moderating a one-on-one conversation with Whit Stillman at the 2014 Austin Film Festival. We had an excellent session. It was recorded and hopefully will surface as part of the PBS On Story TV series.
