The Last Days Of Disco [Criterion] (DVD)
Amoeba Review
Special Edition, restored high-definition digital transfer.
The Last Days Of Disco is a clever, comic return to the nighttime party scene in early Eighties Manhattan from director Whit Stillman (Metropolitan). At the center of the film's roundelay of revelers are the icy Charlotte (Kate Beckinsale) and the demure Alice (Chloe Sevigny), by day toiling as publishing house assistants and by night looking for romance and entertainment at a premier, Studio 54-like club. The Last Days Of Disco is an affectionate yet unsentimental look at the end of an era, brimming with Stillman's trademark dry humor.
