Disco’s glitz and glamour is a cruel contrast to the realities of life in Brooklyn, where Tony Manero works a soul-sucking job between stints at the club. In his world, women are objects and boys will be boys. Trapped in a toxic environment whose only allure is the bright lights of the dancefloor, Tony’s fight to defy the patterns laid out for him is brought to vibrant, hip swinging life by an incomparable Travolta. Screen: NFT2. Screening details: Special screening available; Intro by Ruby McGuigan, BFI Programme Development Manager.
