The disco scenes in Stillman's movie are set in a fictional club that suggests a sedate hybrid of Studio 54 and its arch-rival, Xenon. Although "The Last Days of Disco" has a fuller, more richly nostalgic soundtrack, the music serves only as an unobtrusive nostalgic backdrop for another one of Stillman's articulate comedies of New York WASP manners. The director conveniently forgot that the decibel levels in those clubs were much too high to allow his characters to carry on their witty analytical dialogues in anything less than a shout.
