“I consider you a person of some integrity—except, you know, in your relations with women.” That must be the most important line spoken in any Stillman film pinpointing the many ways his movies marry sociological study, comedy of manners and a rather clear moral position. If The Last Days of Disco is Stillman’s masterpiece is because it’s the one that most clear articulates the ways one witness unaware our slow decay towards barbarism, the idea that ultimate links all his four historical films. One stumbles upward, while the world around it just awkwardly disappears. It is as beautiful elegiac as it is witty because Stillman sincere belief that “the yuppie scum” deserves its elegy too. There’s plenty of behavior beauties…

"It's not just that we don't know each other well; I'm not even sure we really like each other."
Now I'd like to think that anti-disco sentiment is essentially a thing of the past in American society, and for all I know such is the case—as my monocultural radar no longer extends beyond Trump(ism) outrage, the NBA and the Premier League (to the extent that Association football has any foothold in America's collective brainwaves). But many moons ago when I was a schoolboy in the 1990s, certain halfwits with whom I matriculated would sometimes don "Disco Sucks" gear as though the matter hadn't already been settled in their dads' favor before we were born. Anyhow disco rules, and we all…
