Our take
Losing track of time on the dancefloor is one thing. Slipping between decades with the change of a song is another. Narrated in husky tones by the iconic Béatrice Dalle, this tale of star-crossed lovers brings an enigmatic sci-fi edge to Henry James’s source novella as it sways to eclectic beats.
