Set against the backdrop of Studio 54’s party lifestyle that made the club infamous in the 70s, the Director’s Cut explores in greater depth a love triangle between a bartender, a coat check girl and a busboy. Shane, a Jersey boy, hopes to find a more exciting life at Studio 54. The Director’s Cut” restores the 36 minutes of gay scenes that the director was forced to replace with 25 minutes of a hetro love story. It is indeed a new gay cult classic, a glorious, hedonistic revelry that transports us to an underground utopia of sexually liberated freak flyers, only to plunge us into its inevitable ruination.
