The famous New York City nightclub seen and told through the eyes of a young employee in this re-edited version of the 1990s could-have-been classic film.
In 2015, 27 years after Miramax released the original film, “54: The Director’s Cut” was re-edited by director Mark Christopher to include 44 minutes of never before seen material giving the film a new runtime of 106 minutes, completing the version of “54” that everyone signed up to make in the first place: the story of three friends — a busboy (Ryan Phillippe), a bartender (Breckin Meyer) and a coat-check girl (Salma Hayek) — and the sordid love triangle that nearly tore them apart, set against the glittery excess of New York’s Studio 54 dance club.
This new version of this could-have-been-classic is queerer, wilder and goes deeper in exploring the excesses of the legendary club.
This film is part of our NightLives strand exploring and celebrating our queer clubbing and music scenes on screen from Canal Street to New York via the streets of Rio, from the 1970s to now.
