Topics such as immigration and
varying cultures clashing together due to sitcom - style antics (in this case a confusing manner of apartment leasing) have been well - trodden indie subjects for years now, yet The Visitor wrangles this oft - used story to magnificent heights.
These include the
varying comforts and malaise of the «urban haute bourgeoisie» in Metropolitan (1990); how certain class
cultures clash with political realities abroad in Barcelona (1994); and the collapse of the utopian ideals of disco in The Last Days of Disco (1996).
