Edgar Wright Says ‘Last Night in Soho’ Is a ‘Cautionary Tale’ for People Who Are Too Nostalgic (Video)

TIFF 21: “There is no perfect decade where everything was good and nothing was bad. It doesn’t exist,” filmmaker says

Anyone who is a fan of filmmaker Edgar Wright’s movies will know that he’s a giant cinephile with a knack for countless references and needle drops to older decades and classic filmmakers. But his new film “Last Night in Soho” warns that idolizing the past too much can be trouble.

In a video interview with TheWrap’s Beatrice Verhoeven at the Toronto International Film Festival, Wright and screenwriter Krysty Wilson-Cairns described “Last Night in Soho” as a psychological thriller that slowly dips into full on horror. But, Wright add, the film is a “cautionary tale” about nostalgia and the illusion that there was ever a “good old days.”
