“The Writers’ Paris has had several golden ages of which the present moment is probably not one. The Edith Wharton Paris, the legendary Hemingway-Fitzgerald-Gertrude Stein era and the particularly populous post-World War Two period with George Plimpton’s Paris Review, novelist’s Irwin Shaw, James Jones, Peter Viertel, Clement Wood and many others.”

From the archive, we revisit Whit Stillman’s essay on literary Paris—then and now. A committed Francophile, the American director muses on everything from Wharton’s Rue de Grenelle dinner parties (and aversion to the Ritz), to his own experiences filming in the city of light.

MSP Film is proud to announce a special screening of METROPOLITAN with Writer/Director @whitstillman in person!

Wednesday Jan, 7th at 7pm.

An ironically comic look at Manhattan’s endangered debutante scene, Metropolitan chronicles the rise and ultimate decline of a group of young Park Avenue socialites who gather nightly to discuss love, honor, and the impending demise of their class. American Writer/Director Whit Stillman’s award-winning debut feature remains as sharp and funny as ever, now 35 years on. taken in The Main Cinema by @whitstillman
