The Last Days of Disco
The Last Days of Disco is a 1998 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Whit Stillman, and loosely based on his travels and experiences in various nightclubs in Manhattan, including Studio 54.
A group of unlikely friends hang out at a Studio 54–type discotheque in 1980-81. The club is under investigation, and the prosecutor might be insane.
Tropes used in The Last Days of Disco include:
- Coolest Club Ever: The disco nightclub, based on Studio 54, is "impossible to get into."
- Monster Roommate: Charlotte and Alice drive each other mad.
- New York Subway: Charlotte accuses fellow rider of groping her.
- Production Posse: Chris Eigeman plays a main character.
- Production Throwback: Characters from previous Whit Stillman films Metropolitan and Barcelona make appearances.
