The tycoon, played with constipated entitlement by Guy Pearce, has the pastiche name Harrison Lee Van Buren.

For sure, it’s a dreamy pastiche of the era’s moody, existential movies.

Others are almost pastiches - a fantasy about “very hot, sensual, passionate sex” with Harry Styles.

The venue has been transformed into the Kit Kat Club, the Weimar era Berlin nightspot, where the naughty pastiche score by John Kander and Fred Ebb gets to strut its decadent stuff.

Hence, a remake of the film, some might argue, is destined to be a pastiche of a pastiche.
