‘Last Night in Soho’ is a spellbinding thriller that traverses the swinging ‘60s and modern-day with enchanting visuals and an entrancing soundtrack.
Although the musical’s heyday is long past, it has seen somewhat of revival in recent years. While La La Land is a throwback to the classic feel and style of the big budget productions, another film has to some extent reimagined the genre to incorporate a more contemporary approach to the old school pictures. While at first glance, Baby Driver doesn’t look like a musical, it certainly shares some elements with the finely tuned genre.
It’s common for there to be a few years between writer/director Edgar Wright‘s projects, but it’s always worth the wait. It’s been four years since his sci-fi comedy The World’s End came out, so schedule dictates he was due for another big screen appearance. Wright’s latest picture, Baby Driver, had its premiere at SXSW last night. But for all those who couldn’t be there, they’ve released the official and international trailers to build anticipation for the summer 2017 release.
