Last Night in Soho/Repulsion (1001 Movies #462)

"Were we supposed to have found it entertaining? There's more horror latent in this notion of the movie audience than in the film itself."

And if Pauline Kael's unkind words about Roman Polanski's REPULSION don't do it for you... how about Father Time Rex Reed for LAST NIGHT IN SOHO?

“Depraved, delirious, and downright stupid, Last Night in Soho is two hours of amateurish drivel by B-movie director Edgar Wright that pretends to be half-retro Swingin’ Sixties comedy and half-horror thriller.  It is neither, but for a two hour assault on the I.Q., it’s in a class by itself”

We also have some words, but you get to listen. No reading necessary at Off Screen Death (except here.)

Mike and Dave discuss the need (or lack thereof) for plot, the trials and tribulations of the beautiful, and a recommendation for heavy drinking for one of these films. As is our want, we focus more on REPULSION, which is probably for the best.

Join as we determine if we should root for movies with no plot, or those with so much plot that we struggle to track and pay attention. One thing we know for sure is, anything is better than another long Marvel nonsense movie, no matter who the director might be.
