The Last Days of Disco15

Directed by Whit Stillman | USA | 1998 | 1h 54m | Starring Chloë Sevigny, Kate Beckinsale, Chris Eigeman, Mackenzie Astin, Jennifer Beals

Set in 1980s Manhattan, two recent college graduates navigate their days as overworked publishing assistants and their nights immersed in the New York disco scene, searching for love and adventure. Starring Chloë Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale at the height of their cultural prominence, Whit Stillman’s wry comedy-of-manners offers sharp insights into class, gender, and generational conflicts.

★★★★
Caroline Westbrook, Empire Magazine

Stillman unfolds disco’s vectors of power with a historian’s insight and a novelist’s eye for satirical nuance.’

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
