“Last Night in Soho” tells the story of a fashion designer that is seemingly able to travel back in time to the 1960s and experiences the world of singer Sandie. Of course, since this is a psychological thriller, we’re not going to spoil any of the twists and turns, but needless to say, ‘Soho’ isn’t a rom-com and things get pretty wild.
The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie, Matt Smith, Terence Stamp, and Diana Rigg. As mentioned, ‘Soho’ is written and directed by Edgar Wright, marking his first narrative feature since 2017’s “Baby Driver” (though he did recently direct the great “Sparks Brothers” documentary).
“Last Night in Soho” hits theaters on October 29. You can listen to Wright’s curated playlist below.
Here’s the synopsis:
In acclaimed director Edgar Wright’s psychological thriller, Eloise, an aspiring fashion designer, is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer, Sandie. But the glamour is not all it appears to be and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something far darker.
