W Magazine 5 Films for NYE

“We’re on the list.” Whit Stillman’s The Last Days of Disco is at the top of the list. Written by Brooke Marine for W magazine:

We can’t go out this New Year’s Eve. Well, we technically could, but we absolutely should not go out! I’m probably going to spend this NYE reminiscing on an era that I never lived through, but certainly wish I could have experienced for at least a night. Also, I wish I could go back to the Studio 54 exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, so I guess Whit Stillman’s The Last Days of Disco, starring Chloë Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale, will just have to suffice. —Brooke Marine
