Movie Reviews of The Last Days of Disco
Movie Review: Another great film from Whit Stillman film
Summary: 5 Stars
This film came out about the same time as 54 and follows a very similar club through its demise during "the last days of disco". That's where the similarity ends. This, as all Stillman movies, is a film driven by dialog. If you have never seen a Whit Stillman film before, you're in for a treat. This is a film for people who love strong dialog and good character development. Chloe Sevigny (Kids, Boys Don't Cry) is a great addition to the regular Stillman players like Christopher Eigeman (Metropolitan, It's Like, you know ....).
The soundtrack is great and really adds to the feel of the film. If you enjoy this film, check out Metropolitan and Barcelona. Also check out Kicking & Screaming and Mr. Jealousy. These follow the same great formula with some of the same actors.
Movie Review: Vintage Stillman
Summary: 5 Stars
After Metropolitan andn Barcelona, one would expect the acting in The Last Days of Disco to be atrocious. That's not the case. For perhaps the first time, Stillman has managed to fuse a reflective story with decent acting. The result is, I think, a movie that just gets better each time you watch it. The more you watch, the more you realise it's just like a Fitzgerald or Hemmingway novel. The conversation about lady and the tramp, the bitchiness of Kate Beckinsale... it all adds up to a great movie. If you have a bit of time to spare, and you're willing to pay attention to it, watch the movie. Whilst Metropolitan and Barcelona were both great (I'm a big Stillman fan), I think The Last Days of Disco shows the director at a new level of maturity.Movie Review: Available on Region 2 DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not going to write a review, as many others have done that (though I love the film), but I wanted to let people know that in Summer 2006 it was re-released in France. The video may be watched in English without french subtitles, but the disc is a Region 2 disc, meaning it can only be watched on a computer (if you're willing to switch from Region 1 to 2) or on a DVD player that is region free and can convert from PAL to NTSC color. Anyway, as of this writing, the DVD is very cheap on Amazon.fr, and may be the only way to get it on DVD for a while.Movie Review: c'est chic
Summary: 5 Stars
I lovet his film. The dialogue is so smart (too smart for its own best some claim, but I don't agree). The settings are marvellous and very stylish. Nothing is cheap, redundant or stupid but this one. It's perfect, and it gets better every time I watch it. And... the soundtrack. Even if it doesn't represent the obscure (and often more intriguing side of disco) it's just perfect. "Shame" by Evelyn Champagne King, "Good times" - of course... The music fits the images perfectly. I thinks it's astounding!
But of course this is not for everyone.
Movie Review: disco will never die
Summary: 5 Stars
Kate Beckinsale shines as a know it all, smart and sometimes evil roomate from hell. Chloe Sevigny also shines as the mousy, sensitive but very smart friend/roomate/co-worker. This dvd has a great soundtrack and I can't wait for it to be re-issued so that the dvd can come out with tons of special features, like the making of etc. Besides the smart dialogue, and disco tunes on the background, the characters in this movie come alive and makes one feel as we were actually there during this unforgetable disco era.
