"Longing" in London in the 1960s in "Last Night in Soho" by Edgar Light

Ask Edgar Light about the secret story of "Last Night in Soho" in a single interview.

For genre movie fans, there are no coaches who are looking forward to this new work. Edgar light. Born in 1974, 47 years old, featured in his latest work, Last Night in Saw Ho (released on December 10), is a British culture in the 1960s, who says that he has extraordinary thoughts. Set in the modern and 1960s, the psycho thriller, which synchronizes the spirit and memory of the two women, is a unique and dark style for a light that has had many comedies so far. [See photos] Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor -Joy play a woman in the two eras swap over the mirror ... What is the surprising shooting method that has been realized? ■ "The reason I chose" Breakfast at Tiffany "is because there are also romantic but dark parts."・ In Sawho, we avoid quotes for quotes, and above all, we focus on storytelling. It is also shown in the opening depiction. The room of the hero Eloise, dressed as Thomasin Mackenzie, has two film posters, "Breakfast at Tiffany" (61) and "Sweet Charity" (69). "I love Eloise in the 60's. But there is a reason I chose these two. Both are known as romantic masterpieces, but on the other hand, there are also dark parts." Tiffany. Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast" is a enclosed mistress -like role, Charlie McLaine in "Sweet Charity" is a cabaret dancer. How dangerous it is to beautify the past romantically.・ One of the themes of In Soho, and these two work were perfect for representing them. " Each one of the props that only reflects is meaningful. That is Edgar Wright's movie. Another interesting trivia. A bar named "Inferno" appears in this work. Horror fans must be grinned if Eloise asks her with her male friend on the night of "Halloween". "The word" Inferno "uses the same font as Dario Algento's" Inferno "(laughs). In the shoot, I used two different bars in the appearance and indoors, but both accidentally. It was a burning name related to flames, so I chose "Inferno". " ■ "I have an attachment in the 1960s, just like Eloise." This work is particularly related to the "007" series. When Eloise first slipped back in time in the 1960s, the theater has a sign for "007 / Thunder Ball Operation" (65), and a cast of "007" such as Diana Rig and Margaret Nolan also appeared. There is. "It's to stimulate the atmosphere of the 60's. Speaking of Bond, there is a cocktail created by Ian Fleming in" 007 Casino Royal ", so the scene that asks for cocktails is" 007 "tribute. Mas. Margaret and Diana certainly have a connection with the bond, but it's an unintended accident. In this work, you can cast people who can be called icons of the 60s, including telense stamps, Rita Tusinham, and Diana rigs. I did it. I wanted them to appear because I wanted to create a feeling of air in this era. I also have attachments in that era, just like Eloise, so I asked questions how the movie was at the time. I felt the best. " Yes, as Light says, Eloise is also his alter ego. "What Eloise was addicted to in the 1960s was that she lived with her grandmother and grew up listening to her record collection. I was like that. I was born in 1974, but my parents have 60 records. There were many ages, and they were always flowing home. So, the presence of the age of the 60's may have been a big deal in the house, and the 60's in the 20th century. I think it's time for the most people to talk or discuss. I myself moved to London when I was 20, but especially the architecture of soho hasn't changed much from the 60's. Restaurants and bars. Even if the construction changes, the architecture itself remains the same, so it may always be thought of in that age. "■" I am surprised that the viewer is not using CG! I would be happy if you gave me it. "But how did you come up with the original composition of this work that travels between the two era in your dreams? "I love Michael Powell, Hitchcock, Mario Barva, and Dario Algento's early Jallo works, but for example," Killing Dress "," France ", and Algent movies, etc. There are many types that are difficult to use, but I thought it would be possible to reconstruct them by drawing them from the perspective of women. In addition, this work is a 60's British drama, John Schreshiner. I was also influenced by "Darling" and Edmond T. Greville's "Go crazy". I thought I could mix these and time travel stories. In the 60's, I had a dream and London. There were many movies with a story, such as being punished for becoming a star when a girl who came to be a star. It would be interesting if I did a story that walked the same path in the modern and 60s in one movie. Or not, the starting point of this work is the starting point. " The Edgar Light Clause, which skillfully remixes his favorite movies and creates the unique work, is still alive in this work. And the tricky video production that makes you want to pry, "How did you shoot?" Is one of the pleasures of watching his movie. In "Last Night in Soho", especially the scene using a mirror in "Cafe de Paris" where Eloy's first meets Sandy (Anya Taylor -Joy) is impressive. The shooting seems to be quite complicated, as Eloise and Sandy are replaced through the mirror, and two people are replaced during the dance. "I don't want to see how I took it now (laughs). Maybe I can keep the DVD video benefits .... Originally, I want to take a video using such complex mirror effects. I've always thought. Looking in the mirror, someone different from me is reflected, and I often dream of experiencing various things through that, and I came up with ideas. It is said that this scene is hardly used in VFX. "I'm shooting in an analog way than you think. Thomasin and Anya actually stood in the mirror in that place, and no motion control or green screen was used." Actually. I think you'll know how much tricks you used to say, just saying ". It was fun to think about it. "It was fun. I hope the person who watched this scene is not using CG!" Edgar Wright surprises us in all aspects such as expressions. In the future, his first music documentary "The Sparks Brothers" will be released, and the remake of the Distopia science fiction "Battle Runner" (87) will be refrained. It is likely that the Genius of the British genius will continue. Interview/sentence/Ryo Nishikawa
