54 (DIDIER BECU)

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2004)

Is it my fault or what? Why if I wanna praise a movie, I have to see that it's being turned down by most of the IMDB-voters? Anyway, "54" tells the story of the legendary Studio 54-discotheque in New York that was huge in the days of disco and that was known for its orgies, extravaganzas and endless days of disco. It tells the story of a Shane who lives at the other side of NY and who is picked up by the boss, who makes him a bartender. He soon sees what has to be done to make it (gaysex included) but he forgets his poor origin and climbs up to the ladder of stardom. "54" is a perfect movie for anyone who seek decadence with a discosoundtrack and for those who are at the end of their 30's, they all know the party's definitely over and fun never sounded so good. A real masterpiece that tells a real important part of popular music's history.
