Free Flick of the Day: The Last Days of Disco

Whit Stillman hasn't made a lot of films. In fact, there are only three: Metropolitan, Barcelona, and The Last Days of Disco . All filmed in the '90s, his trio of movies morphed from upper-class teen Manhattanites, to heading out into the international working world, and finally to a look into the end of disco. Unfortunately, the last was sadly overlooked because another big disco fest hit the big...

The Last Days of Disco

Reviewer: Amy Monaghan Rating (out of 5): **** It is, a title archly informs us, “the very early '80s” - “September,” to be exact - but the strobelight flicker of the opening credits and the thumping beat make it clear that we are in The Last Days of Disco (1998). In the final film of director Whit Stillman 's informal trilogy...

Say it ain't so, Hulu

Before I get into any of that, there's some much better news out there for people who like their TV to make them laugh, which I certainly do. First up is that NBC has given full-season orders to two shows I tune in for every week, "Community" and "Parks and Recreation." The former is already very funny and seems to get a little better with each episode, and the latter has a sweetness...

Great Grandma’s Maverick — and a Plate of Cookies — for $8,000! [Nice Price Or Crack Pipe]

With the success of the Mustang under their belt, Ford went for another equine equitable in replacement of the Falcon. Now, Nice Price or Crack Pipe wants to know if this '70 Maverick is hot to trot. Much like Whit Stillman's film of the same name, yesterday's Metropolitan garnered critical acclaim, but little audience appreciation. A movie that had the opposite effect was Top Gun, in which Tom Cruise...

Exclusive Q&A: Filmmaker Whit Stilman

In 1990 Whit Stillman gained both critical acclaim and a cult following with his debut film, Metropolitan, a low-budget, high-comedy masterpiece about a group of college-age Upper East Siders who talk their way through Christmas break, riffing on everything from strip poker to Lionel Trilling's take on Mansfield Park, all the while attending debutante balls. Subsequently, Stillman completed a trilogy...

“A film that picks the viewer up and changes him forever. The first “art film” I saw, in a college screening, and I haven’t seen it since, perhaps not wanting to tamper with that memory. Memorable also for providing more parody fodder than any other film.” - -Whit Stillman on The Seventh Seal . Whit Stillman’s Top 10 - The Criterion Collection

DVD Review: “The Last Days of Disco”

I should cut Whit Stillman some slack. He got his start as a feature filmmaker at age 38 with the acclaimed Metropolitan (1990)—the right time to look backwards with a sharpened pen at the status, conduct, and mating rituals of the young “urban haute bourgeoisie” who interest him. The movie got great reviews, received an [...]
