An interview with Whit Stillman. It’s a shame he’s disappeared from the scene; he’s produced nothing since The Last Days of Disco, which started my (not particularly long-lasting) obsession with Kate Beckinsale.
Strangely, reading that interview gives me two contradictory feelings: “Whit Stillman seems like a pretty cool, reasonable guy” and “Whit Stillman is probably secretly crazy — you can just tell.”

Metropolitan just came out on a beautiful Criterion DVD, so he's probably getting a little publicity. I wish he'd make another film. Maybe a collaboration with Wes Anderson?

i assume you've seen this ... perhaps still of interest even if the obsession has passed
