Why It's FilmBuff
Some films are just a matter of class. In Metropolitan the subject matter involves classy people, but the overall execution of this film is just as classy. The dramatic moments have an air of familiarity and the comedic moments are subtle and underplayed. You might just find yourself caught in the world the movie has created right before you. Snap out of it and realize the underlying message. It doesn't hit you on the head with it. That would not be classy.
