The only good things the American right has given the world are Hugh Kenner's The Pound Era (1971) and Whit Stillman's Metropolitan (1990). Everything else is bullshit.

Stillman is more conservative than the average Hollywood type. That said, Metropolitan is more of a mocking of WASP/preppie manners and customs than a celebrant of it. Something Stillman would tell you.

I think like Anthony Powell and Evelyn Waugh, Stillman both mocks a class and celebrates it. Satire is more powerful when there is an element of love.
