The article presents information on producer John Whitney Stillman, and his movie "Barcelona." "Metropolitan" is a virtually plotless movie that portrays a group of blase New York adolescents reminiscent of Stillman's own milieu in the 1960s. He started production of "Barcelona" using money left from "Metropolitan." Later, Castle Rock Entertainment sought him out, based on the early small success of "Metropolitan," and gave him $3 million to make the new picture. He got into the movie business by the back door. Perhaps because of his background, Stillman is very uncomfortable talking about money.

The article focuses on the career of writer-director Whit Stillman as of April 2012. In filmmaking, he is known for completing character-driven scripts, avoiding salacious subject matter, and examining the morals at play within societal constructs. His newest film "Damsels in Distress," described as a comedy of mannerlessness, starts showing on April 6. His most famous films include "The Last Days of Disco," "Metropolitan," and "Barcelona."

The article features film director Whit Stillman, whose debut movie titled "Metropolitan" was nominated in the best screenplay category at the Oscars in 1990.
