 Don't Look Now (DVD)
 Don't Look Now (DVD) ... Sutherland ... / DVD released 29 July, 2002 at Warner Home Video / Features of the DVD: PAL / Don't Look Now was filmed in 1973 and based around a Daphne Du Maurier novel. Directed by Nicolas Roeg, it has lost none of its chill: like Kubrick's The Shining, its dazzling use of juxtaposition, colour, sound and editing make it a seductive experience in cinematic terror, whose aftershock lingers in daydreams and nightmares, filling you with uncertainty and dread even after its horrific climax. Donald Sutherland plays John Baxter, an architect, Julie Christie his wife: a well-to-do couple whose young daughter drowns while out playing. Cut to Venice, out of season, where the couple encounter a pair of sisters, one of whom claims psychic powers and to have communicated with their dead daughter. The subsequent plot is as labyrinthine as the back streets of the city itself, down which Baxter spots a diminutive and elusive red-coated figure akin to his daughter, before being drawn into an almost unbearable finale. Don't Look Now is a Gothic masterpiece, with its melange of gore, mystery, ecstasy, the supernatural and above all grief, while the city of Venice itself--which thanks to Roeg and his team seems to breathe like a dark, sinister living organism throughout the movie--deserves a credit in its own right. Not just a magnificent drama but an advanced feat of cinema. --David StubbsNewest Review: ...

== DON'T LOOK NOW == Released in 1973, in the genre Drama/Horror/Mystery, and directed by Nicolas Roeg, 'Don't Look Now' is a stunning film starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie. It is adapted from an old Daphne du Maurier ghost story. Set almost entirely in Venice 'Don't Look Now' has to be the best film of the 1970's and beyond, and it is still entirely relevant today.

A good friend of mine cites this film as his all time favourite movie. By all accounts it's a masterpiece of modern cinema according to many books and websites, however, apart from a few individual flashes of brilliance I didn't really get into it. The plot concerns Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland, a couple with two children who live in England. One day their daughter falls into their lake and dies. Haunted by this accident the couple move to Venice where Sutherland is renovating a local church. Julie Christie, who has never quite got over the death of their daughter seeks solace in strange pair of elderly sisters, one of which is blind. Sutherland is ...
