Studio 54

For me, who never (unfortunately) got to experience Studio 54, this documentary provides a unique insight into the phenomenon. Unique insights are provided in this film, particularly with contributions from surviving creator Ian Schrager. In combination with archival recordings, his and others' information, the result is thorough.

However, one thing annoyed me when I watched the documentary; the unique images from the nightclub change so quickly that it is difficult to see them properly. It's a shame, because the nightclub could show the A list of celebrities who visited the nightclub to enjoy a fantastic night on the town. It might also have been great if some of these celebrities such as Diana Ross, Grace Jones or Elton John could have contributed with why they also chose Studio 54. But in any case, a well-made documentary that provides insight and learning about the famous nightclub.

Fantastic documentary. A must-watch for people interested in the 1970's disco club scene.

Chemistry and night life. The story being told in this documentary is more about how people live and breath than what makes them tick or some breakdown of any particular matter of interest. It's just telling you how it was, which I love whole heartedly. Enthralling!

Solid documentary on what the rise and the fall of the historic Studio 54.

This is a first hand look into the inside of the amazing Studio 54. 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 it's fullest every night and escape the prejudices, injustices, and cruel world of reality outside its doors. It drew the likes of Liza Minelli, 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). Don't miss this exceptional inside account of the iconic discotheque Studio 54.
