It is called Damsels in Distress and is part musical, believe it or not. No Chris Eigeman or Taylor Nicols in it, though. Looks pretty much like all young unknowns. "Chad" from In the Loop and the sultry, surly Aubrey Plaza (Scott Pilgrim, Parks and Recreation) make appearances. The trailer is below:
Meanwhile, I loaned out Barcelona to my friend, Meghan, and a bunch of other great films, so Renee and I scratched our Whit Stillman itch the other night by watching Metropolitan again. It is such a sweet, wonderful, darling motion picture, with a true old-school classical structure full of ingenues, heroes and cads. And so much great dialogue. Of course, I identify with Tom Townsend. I am Tom Townsend. I quit reading novels ages ago. I prefer to read literary criticism. I walk everywhere or take public transportation. I actually know who Charles Fourier is and used to talk at great length about him with my splendid vegan, Socialist, wannabe ELF member, now author and legitimate environmental protector, Douglas Bevington. Also, like Tom Townsend, for all my revolutionary rhetoric I would be just as vulnerable to the seduction of the Manhattan UHB-scene, eager to belong to their clique, their world. But unlike Tom Townsend I most definitely do not have bright red hair.
"It has a lining."
