The Last Days of Disco (15) + Q&A [35mm]

Self-confident Charlotte and demure Alice work in low-level publishing jobs by day and search for entertainment and romance at night in the Manhattan club scene of the early 80s. 
All the while, the two women must navigate their jobs, relationships, roommates, and “railroad” apartments with their mostly male friends.

Whit Stillman’s dryly comic drama delivers sharp observations about class, gender, generational tension and coming-into-adulthood. A successful indie upon release, The Last Days of Disco has since become a cult favourite and remains as funny and incisive as when it was made.

With an evocative disco soundtrack and appealing performances from the ensemble cast, it’s a vivid and affectionate elegy to a bygone age. 

The Last Days of Disco screens from a 35mm print.

Presented in partnership with Geoffrey M. Badger and Lost Reels. 
Special thanks to Whit Stillman for his support and participation.
