Last Night in Soho (2020)
An aspiring fashion designer (BAFTA nominee Thomasin McKenzie from Jojo Rabbit) is mysteriously able to enter the swinging Sixties, where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer (Emmy nominee Anya Taylor-Joy from The Queen’s Gambit). But the glamour is not all it appears to be and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something darker.
Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, The World’s End, Shaun of the Dead) won Best Director at the 2022 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, while Last Night in Soho was nominated for Best Horror Movie at this year’s Critics Choice Super Awards, where both McKenzie and Taylor-Joy were up for Best Actress in a Horror Movie. The horror was also nominated for Outstanding British Film and Best Sound at the 2022 BAFTAs. As The New York Times says, “Nothing in Wright’s previous work quite prepared me for Last Night in Soho, its easy seductiveness and spikes of sophistication.”
The cast includes Emmy nominee Matt Smith (Doctor Who, The Crown and House of the Dragon), BAFTA winner Rita Tushingham (Doctor Zhivago, The Responder), and Oscar nominee Terence Stamp (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert). Last Night in Soho also marks the final cinematic appearances of late Emmy winner Dame Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones’ Olenna Tyrell) and Margaret Nolan (Goldfinger).
