About the event
Whit Stillman’s masterpiece explores the impossibly bookish lives of a group of young Manhattan socialites during party season as they talk their way through topics large and small. A glorious pre-internet film for an increasingly post-literate world.
James Marriott is a Times columnist, author and broadcaster. His new book out in May is called The New Dark Ages: The End of Reading and the Dawn of a Post-Literate Society. Manhattan is his favourite film.
