Metropolitan

Finally... A film about the downwardly mobile.

A witty, intellectually engaged comedy-drama about privileged young New Yorkers whose insular world is disrupted by an outsider's radical perspective, blending philosophical debate with romantic entanglement and social self-examination.

A radical student is adopted by a group of young New Yorkers, serves as a catalyst to alter his and their lives. Gathering in a Manhattan apartment, the group of friends meet to discuss social mobility, Fourier's socialism and play bridge in their cocoon of upper-class society - until they are joined by a man with a critical view of their way of life.
