Review of Don't Look Now (1936) by John A — 01 Apr 2010
This is a film that's strengths rest on its formidable formal qualities--the atmosphere it sets, the tension it builds, the refusal to highlight one element over others. Roeg creates a world in which it is near-impossible to determine any one thing that is more important than another, imbuing all events with inherent significance.
The critique of pure rationality works well, as the horror elements of the film aid this theme in a powerful way.
