Studio 54

If Saturday Night Fever epitomised disco culture, the Manhattan nightclub Studio 54 defined its social hedonism, turning a media spotlight on celebrity that's never dimmed. For three years from 1977, the glamorous watering hole was the eighth wonder of the world with party animals desperate to cross the velvet ropes and dance the night away. Matt Tyrnauer's superb documentary charts all the dazzling disco facts and commemorates the urban legends behind college friends Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager's mirrorballed brainchild, from its fabulous beginning (with iconic beautiful people Liza Minnelli, Andy Warhol and Bianca Jagger in attendance) to a tawdry jail-time ending because of tax evasion. Eclectic talking heads - Chic's Nile Rodgers, doorman Marc Benecke, fashion icon Norma Kamali and, for the first time, Schrager himself - forensically detail the sex, drugs and disco-era dreamland. Alongside an insightful array of photos, film clips, archive footage and period newscasts, Tyrnauer does the impossible: he actually makes you feel like you are there.
