A girl named Eloise, who's obsessed with the 1960s, moves to London to study fashion design, and starts dreaming her way back in time. Things get crazy when the dreams turn dark and start to blur with her waking life. Back in the '60s, she encounters a girl named Sandie, who could be a muse, or a doppelgänger, or maybe a ghost. It's like "Suspiria" moved to the UK, just as creepy, but somehow not as cold and remote. The scenes in which Eloise and Sandie appear together, as mirror images (or possibly the same person) are inventively done. And speaking of the '60s, Terence Stamp. And Rita Tushingham. And in her last movie role, Diana Rigg.
