The Last Days of Disco

Writer and director Whit Stillman's third film tracks the last days of an era through the eyes of two young women. Two different girls find love and friendship in New York in the early 80's which includes some life lessons that will shape their future. Stillman continues to explore the lives of white young adults through their social interaction with each other. It's his most successful film that captures an era well through vivid and memorable characters. Chloƫ Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale shine in the leads along with a solid supporting cast that includes Chris Eigeman, Mackenzie Astin, Matt Keeslar, Matt Ross and Robert Sean Leonard amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
