This story about “Last Night in Soho” first appeared in the Below-the-Line Issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Edgar Wright’s sumptuous thriller “Last Night in Soho” follows young Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie), an aspiring fashion designer in the present who moves from the country to London’s posh Soho district and inadvertently winds up occupying the life of young singer Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy) in the 1960s.
One of the film’s most striking sequences is Eloise’s initial trip back in time as she follows Sandie into the upscale nightclub Café de Paris. (The real club shut down in 2020, a casualty of the pandemic.)
