Terry Teachout informs us that Whit Stillman's brilliant and darkly funny film, The Last Days of Disco, has finally been released on DVD. Yay! As Teachout says, this release is cause for rejoicing. I have a VHS copy of the movie that I found at a flea market in Steubenville, Ohio. Finding it made my month. It plays fine, although I had to replace the back cover. I think I took the a non-broken cover off of an extra copy of Gladiator that I had for some reason. Strange. Anyhow, I'm thrilled that Stillman's last film is now much more available. The writer/director has made three major films, and all three rank on my list of favorites. They're what I'd call dialogue-driven stories. Perfectly appealing to the English/philosophy major in me.
Here's the Criterion Collection trailer:
