The Last Days of Disco (1998)

 With 'The Last Days of Disco' set circa 1980-81 Whit Stillman brings to a close his trilogy about WASP elite 20 somethings in the 1980's, the film even featuring cameo appearances by characters from Metropolitan (1990) and Barcelona (1994). I'm glade that Stillman brought this phase of his career to a close at this time, as witty as his writing can be, and as unconventionally appealing his leads characters, I'm not sure this well could have born another bucket. I started it slightly leery because of this, but it grew on me. A deceptively well structed work, and I've never found Chloe Sevigny so attractive. ***
