Studio 54
In an attempt to restore the memories of the most famous nightclub in the world during the 70s, this movie chronicles the true story of the club, beginning from its founders till its downfall, as Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell, two closed friends who set up such a nightclub and do their best, in order to make it perfect, and they succeed in doing so, as it becomes the first and most well known nightclub in the world, but this success does not last, as they have been arrested for tax evasion.

You have to applaud the steadiness of purpose in Tyrnauer's approach: from the mayhem of the dancefloor he has extracted a...poignant thesis about its significance to the wider culture of the day.

Studio 54 is an opulent and balanced tribute to '70s pop culture.

It's amazing someone like Scorcese hasn't taken this and given it the Casino treatment - although given the reality shown here, you'd be hard pushed to make it any better.

Studio 54 only lasted 33 months but would become the stuff of legend, and Matt Tyraneur's documentary tells the club's story wonderfully well.

Studio 54 shows what it is like to capture lightning in a bottle, as well as what it means to get burned. The archival footage is fabulous, and this film is a rollicking good time.

The result is a fittingly fab story.

The story of the most famous nightclub in 1970s New York has been told countless times, but Matt Tyrnauer's documentary boasts the presence of the hotel mogul Ian Schrager, who made his name as the club's co-founder.

An enjoyable ride that captures both the excitement of the party and the shameful details of its aftermath.

It's frustratingly broad on its place in club culture.

Schrager proves agreeable company and, though occasionally evasive, seems frank about his transgressions.

The story is both better and worse than I was expecting, but if I ever stumble across a time machine, that's still where I'm heading first.

For those of us who never went (and probably couldn't have gotten in if we tried), "Studio 54" lets you taste a bit of the ecstasy.
