Whit Stillman resurfaces!
Filed under: Classics, Comedy, Independent, Romance, Home Entertainment, Cinematical Indie
One of the first Cinematical posts I ever wrote was about Whit Stillman – specifically, I was wondering
what the hell ever happened to
the guy who directed Metropolitan, Barcelona and The Last Days of Disco – three of my
favorite indie films of the 90s. Well, it's time to cut from our non-stop Sundance coverage to bring you this breaking
bulletin: the director is alive and well and, according to Anthony Kaufman, living in Paris and
preparing to direct his first film in seven years. What's the holdup? "For me, time is the biggest luxury.”
Apparently. In the Filmmaker Magazine interview, Stillman also discusses his first film, Metropolitan, at
length, in advance of its Criterion DVD debut next
month.

I hope "Last Days of Disco" gets re-issued on DVD as well. I don't know if this was coincidental, but the tagline for that film, "History is made at night", is the title for a terrific film by Frank Borzage.
