Don't Look Now

Working with elements of the traditional horror genre - second sight, ESP, warnings from the dead, a mad killer - and cinematography of disquieting beauty and dreamlike sense of dislocation, director Roeg weaves a fabric of anxiety that questions all reality. The evocative use of the back streets of Venice is a sinister participant in the action based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier. This intensely erotic and macabre film boasts outstanding performances by Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland.
