Damsels in Distress
A trio of beautiful girls sets out to revolutionize life at a grungy American university - the dynamic leader Violet, principled Rose and sexy Heather. They welcome transfer student Lily into their group which seeks to help severely depressed students with a program of good hygiene and musical dance numbers. The girls become romantically entangled with a series of men-including smooth Charlie, dreamboat Xavier and the mad frat pack of Frank and Thor-who threaten the girls' friendship and sanity...

In the 13 years since Whit Stillman’s last acerbic joke on the bourgeoisie, the culture’s mutated two or three times. The joke, I suppose, is that rich people never change — not in any of his four films. Location is all that distinguishes the young adults in “Metropolitan,” “Barcelona,” “The Last Days of Disco,” and the new movie, “Damsels in Distress” — respectively, an Upper East Side apartment, Spain, Manhattan in the late 1970s, and a leafy college campus right about now. Otherwise, the characters’ sense of propriety and manners — almost vestigial ways of life — provide continuity.
