Movie
Chameleon Soho
1979 · 28 min
A gentle, unhurried wander through a vanishing neighbourhood, rich in faces and small rituals, quietly tinged with the sadness of change.
- Overview
- From dawn till dusk in the bohemian heart of London’s West End. This 1979 portrait of the people and places of Soho catches the neighbourhood towards the end of an era. There's some great footage inside an Italian delicatessen and of assorted street characters. It's a fascinating glimpse into this walled garden of cosmopolitan life on the cusp of the gentrification and commercial interests that have since broken its borders.
