Storyline

The place is the notorious Starck Club (so called because it was the first major project designed by Philippe Starck in the US.) The Starck Club opened in Dallas in 1984 and not long after hosted the 1984 national Republican Convention. Ironically, it was actually legal to buy MDMA aka ecstasy there, people would put it on their credit cards. The DEA stepped in and made it a category 1 drug on July 1, 1985... In a time when ecstasy was legal & guyliner was cool.

    I was such a boring teenager in the 80s. At the behest of my friends, I never went to night clubs nor got involved in designer drugs (i.e., MDMA and Ecstacy). After watching Joseph F. Alexandres Sex, Drugs, Design: Warriors of the Discotheque, I couldnt help but wonder what the hell I was doing with my life with all this studying for college and staying clean and sober. Sex, Drugs, Design: Warriors of the Discotheque is about the infamous Starck Club in Dallas, TX. Ill admit that I had never heard of the club, but Alexandre does a good job convincing you this was THE place to be if you wanted to be ANYBODY. It seems pleading the case for the importance of The Starck Club is the sole purpose of the documentary...
