The Last Days of Disco (1998)

Low level publishing colleagues Chloë Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale spend their evenings meeting yuppies and discoing at New York City nightclubs. Not one of the characters in this film is likeable and very little actually feels of the disco era other than an excellent soundtrack. It is reminiscent of Whit Stillman’s other film Metropolitan with its talkiness and upper class manners. Not much happens, but there’s quite a bit of reflection on relationships of both the romantic and friend/enemy varieties.
