Whit Stillman returns: “Sometimes it’s good to blow through all your deadlines”

Read More... Chloë Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale in "Love & Friendship" (Credit: Amazon Studios) Whit Stillman is the director still best known for “Metropolitan,” the 1990 film about young members of what one of the film’s characters called “the urban haute bourgeoisie.” The ghost of Jane Austen has hovered over nearly all of Stillman’s work, so it seems appropriate that he has finally paid direct homage to her with not one but two new projects. The first is a movie, “Love & Friendship,” based on Austen’s obscure early novella, “Lady Susan.” The second is a novel, also called “Love & Friendship,” in which Stillman rewrites the novella – which is told in letters and was never finished – as a more traditional narrative.
