I’m not sure when it happened, but Whit Stillman’s The Last Days of Disco is now on Hulu. The film is famously not available in this country on DVD; when I talked to Stillman last summer when his Metropolitan went on Hulu, he said a Criterion version of Disco was in the works but that there were rights issues. That may still be on the horizon, but at least the film is now viewable on something other than VHS and laserdisc. (Watch after the jump)

New “Focus Features” titles. New DVD on the horizon?
It is on DVD in the US; it’s just not in print since USA Films went under.
Did you notice YEAST is also on Hulu? I watched it last night.
I just discovered it Hulu myself yesterday. Huzzah! When I found out it was not on DVD (or not for a reasonable price) I quickly went back to the local video rental store where I found it on VHS to see if I could buy it during their $1 sale of all VHS tapes and found out it was sold already. I hope it comes out on Criterion very soon. I don’t like it as much as Metropolitan but it’s quite good.
