Title: vintage 1980s
Product review: Am giving thought to using excerpts from Metropolitan in teaching a class on the 20th century in American culture. What a striking contrast--conservative, properly attired 18 year olds against the groovy jeans, leather jackets, and flower power garb of the 1960s and 1970s! Today's students may wonder-- Just how far did the conservative backswing of the social pendulum travel once Reagan and Republican ideas gave it a shove? Pretty far, by the looks of this upstart, independent film production. And what better a way to also show the genesis of that genre of films in a time when the big studio houses held so much sway over what was produced, who starred in it and how it was edited.
