““
An incredible looking movie poster full of glitter and glamour, designed by the creative advertising agency A&E Networks, with colourful imagery perfectly in keeping with the subject matter (the most famous and talked about nightclub of the 1970s and 80s) for Matt Tyrnauer’s “Studio 54”. A cultural and social phenomenon that pretty much affected everyone involved or who frequented the establishment…music, dancing, fashion, attitudes, celebrity and fame. Made with the unique insight of former owner Ian Schrager it’s a fascinating study on why Studio 54 drew many people and celebrities to its unconventional parties and gatherings. Drugs, alcohol and sex of all kinds inhabited the place which made it all the more notorious and controversial. The stunning UK quad that accompanied the 2018 release is presented in high grade rolled (as issued) condition that display and presents to excellent effect. A genuinely scarce and hard to find example of cinema memorabilia that looks amazing.

“Studio 54 was the epicenter of 70s hedonism–a place that not only redefined the nightclub, but also came to symbolize an entire era. Its co-owners, Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell, two friends from Brooklyn, seemed to come out of nowhere to suddenly preside over a new kind of New York society. Now, 39 years after the velvet rope was first slung across the club’s hallowed threshold, a feature documentary tells the real story behind the greatest club of all time”
“Studio 54” is a first hand look into the inside of the amazing Studio 54 night club and discotheque. Co-Founder Ian Schrager looks back and gives an intimate run-down of the disco’s creation and rise to complete wonderland, and it’s ultimate demise as it came crashing down quicker than a snort of blow. This documentary explores the experiences, first hand accounts, from many of the employees caught up in the whirlwind of this Xanadu on New York’s 54th Avenue. The photo’s and videos from inside the club are as much eye-opening as they are fascinating. Studio 54 was a place to feel safe and feel free, a place to live life to its fullest every night and escape the prejudices, injustices, and cruel world of reality outside its doors. It drew the likes of Liza Minnelli, Michael Jackson, Liz Taylor.…and so many more from the global A-List of Celebrity in the late ’70’s. It was a time and experience like no other in recent history, and the place to be (if you could only get in the door). This is an exceptional inside account of the iconic discotheque Studio 54.
This movie captured some of the magic and music of that era, which was really just kicking off, and lasted till the middle of the 1990’s, in my opinion. At that point, Guiliani changed the city forever. He made it into a kind of Disneyland, with clean streets, and corporate giants occupying once seedy neighborhoods. The magic was lost. It is a completely different city now. One of millionaires, and glitz. It is still perhaps the greatest city on the planet, but without the character and seediness that made it so funky, cool, hip, vibrant, and alluring back then.
