Director Edgar Wright offers a decidedly dark take on swinging-'60s London in his latest thriller, LastNightinSoho, starring Anya Taylor-Joy & Thomasin McKenzie:
Described by Wright as his “dark valentine” to Soho, the film showcases not simply the glamour of its colorful glory years but also the darker, seedier and more dangerous elements — especially for women. McKenzie’s Eloise soon realizes that the era she initially idolized also is awash with brutal misogyny and sexual violence. Shortly after its world premiere in Venice, the film was described as having “brought #MeToo” to 1960s London.
For McKenzie, whose character is thrust headfirst into the thrills — and then spills — of the 1960s, she says filmingmade her realize that there’s “no point in constantly living in the past” while also underlining the importance of not glossing over what really happened.
