Damsels in Distress (2011 Whit Stillman & scr)

I thought this to be a low budget indie from a newcomer - but it turns out to be the the work of Metropolitan's Stillman (1990) - who's had a sparse career.

It's a mild film, though, which I read to be about the stupidity of college students - those that are genuinely stupid (i.e. not knowing the colours) and those that use their intelligence to reinforce their own stupid ideas and hang-ups (Greta Gerwig).

Some of the acting is rather poor. Greta's the main reason to watch. With Analeigh Tipton, The O.C.'s Adam Brody.

I don't know if we're supposed to take seriously the benefits of cleanliness and dancing as treatment for depression, but I don't see why we shouldn't...
