Directed by Whit Stillman
Writer-director Whit Stillman wryly employs a fashionable New York discotheque as a backdrop for drama at the dawn of the Reagan era, ostensibly only a few years after Tony Manero of Saturday Night Fever tripped the light fantastic. Gone are fantasies of transcendence through music and participation, as sex and popularity are traded like junk bonds by a set of college graduates headed straight for yuppiedom.
