this be a gentle subtle film that make you feel a though you have spend an evening with charming and intelligent dinner companion . it be basically about a series of party attend by a group of friend during the christmas season in new york . the dialogue be incredible and lead to screenwriting oscar nomination for stillman . i think this be best of his film . he be truly a hollywood radical because he argue for good old fashion virtue in his movie like friendship and chastity . what could be more revolutionary in todays entertainment climate . rent this one if you like interest character and snappy banter and you will be treat to some laugh out loud zinger and sweet lover story . a winner all round .
