Last Night in Soho
Out of Competition
Synopsis
In this 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.
Director’s Statement
If you could go back in time, would you? The longing to make Last Night in Soho stems from my own desire to make a film about an area of Central London that has become my adopted home for the past twenty-five years. I have haunted it for most of my adult life; be it working, socialising, and even living in this part of the metropolis, all the while soaking up the centuries of history it is imbued with. My film is a love letter in some ways. Not just to this part of the world, but to the legendary decade, the 1960s, in which London’s Soho district was the centre of the universe. But there’s also an eternal tug of war within me, where the yearning to travel back and luxuriate in the glamour of the 1960s is tempered with the nagging fear of the darkness lurking just behind the rose tinted spectacles. Nostalgia can be dangerous; if you spend too long looking back, you could miss the danger right in front of you. Last Night in Soho is a cautionary tale for dreamers like myself who want to turn back the clock to a time, paradoxically, they themselves never lived in. The question should really be, if you could do go back in time, should you?
