It’s been along time since writer/director Whit Stillman’s last feature (The Last Days of Disco, which followed the signature films he made in the early 1990s, Metropolitan and Barcelona). His distinctive world view and wry classicism are peerless in the film world, and his stories of young, advantaged people in and out of love are like no others. His latest, considered his best and a boost for what American independent cinema could be, focuses on a trio of girls set out to change the male-dominated environment of the Seven Oaks college campus, and to rescue their fellow students from depression, grunge and low standards of every kind. (PG-13, 99 mins.)
