Successful Winnipeg-based artist David (Troy Ruptash) has become isolated from humankind due to his fame and notoriety, which negatively affects his inspiration for painting new works. Having come to ... read more read more...the conclusion that the only cure for this condition is a heavy dose of culture immersion, David sets out to find a job -- and quickly finds one waiting tables at a diner run by married couple Matt (Vincent Corazza) and Violet (Cherilee Taylor). David purposefully manages to keep this new part of his life a secret from his best friends Kryla (Lynda Boyd) and Shannon (Thom Allison), especially when he starts developing a crush on Matt. As the two start a romantic relationship, Violet and Kryla each separately become suspicious and begin looking into the various inconsistencies surrounding Matt and David's recent actions. Matt, under pressure, ends the relationship but finds he must confess his sins to Violet when his and David's relationship is about to be made public due to some nude portraits David painted with Matt as the subject. The feature-film directing debut for Canadian playwright Brad Fraser, Leaving Metropolis gained wider public notice after being selected for inclusion into the 2002 Montreal World Film Festival. ~ Ryan Shriver, Rovi

    This is a great movie, I can relate to a few parts (longing for someone I shouldn't) but they follow through with it...good movie to see. Soundtrack leaves something to be desired, the 2 male leads are good looking and easy on the eyes, and the lead female reminds me of Jennife... read morer Lopez, (even though she isn't) and ugh you get to see her breasts...a couple of time...if you like that sort of thing, then this is for you.

    A gay artist's inspiraton falters; he finds a hot married man and is "inspired". Not a bad movie, but in the end almost everyone ends up "leaving metropolis".

Stagily presented, the characters always seem to have lots to say and not enough time to say it.
