A group of young, affluent, recent college graduates combat boredom in the nineties the only way the extremely wealthy can, through endless hours of posturing and gossiping over card tables and shot glasses. Whit Stillman's brilliant script is filled with brisk dialogue and a bounty of rewards for the stealth viewer by way of some of the driest quips ever uttered on screen. If you are willing to devote your full attention, these verbal olympics offer a delicious payoff well worth your time.
