Director Edgar Wright recently did a remake of The Running Man, which is based on the Stephen King novel. Sadly, this film bombed at the box office. But one of my earlier favorite Wright films is Last Night In Soho.
Thomasin McKenzie stars as an up and coming fashion designer. She's attending school in London, and rents an apartment from an eldery woman (the late, great Diana Rigg in one of her last roles).
When she goes to sleep at night, she gets transported to 1960s London, always wearing whatever she wears to bed.
She lives vicariously through the exploits of Anya Taylor-Joy's character, who lived back in this time.
And, for the first two or three times that Thomasin goes back in the past, she's also barefoot. Eventually, she starts falling asleep fully dressed, but at first, Thomasin is only clad in her sleepwear and sans shoes. Soho also bombed at the box office, but despite this, it's still a great film.
