    It's fun music, but it had to die... Whit Stillman's The Last Days of Disco chronicles the height and sudden death of the early 80s club scene in a dramatic comedy about New York yuppies, not unlike his Metropolitan, but a lot less mannered. (That film's attempt at timelessness was perhaps to blame, while Disco is set in a specific time and is more fun as a result.) Poor dejected Chloƫ Sevigny tries to find love, but is often undercut by her snobbish best/worst friend Kate Beckinsale (she'll return in the Stillman filmography in my favorite, Love & Friendship), and though the humor is dry indeed, I burst out laughing several times. Robert Sean Leonard is one of the boys in play, but is not really reunited with his Much Ado About Nothing co-star. Anyway, it's the ladies who are the most engaging characters, with the boys rather pathetic in comparison. Well, not just in comparison. Objectively so. Chris Eigeman is probably the only one I'll remember later because he is just the WORST person. I had a lot of fun with this, and it's got a great coda too. 2 years 2 months ago
