A emotionally fragile modern-day woman from rural Cornwall goes to London to become a fashion designer. Once there, she retreats to an old apartment run by a character played by Diana Rigg in her last role. She studies fashion by day but her dreams at night focus on an aspiring singer from Soho in the 60's. Gradually her days and nights become confused as she starts to assume the character of the songstress. It has been labeled a horror movie, but we found it much deeper than that. The director, Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim) loves the 60's and recreates the mood of the times, and the cinematography is awesome. He deserves a Oscar nomination for sure. The twin female leads do a great job, along with the rest of the cast, some actually were English film stars from the era.
