Review of Don't Look Now (1936) by Darren R — 11 Mar 2009
This is a work of equally grotesque and elegant art. From the breathtaking opening to its delirious conclusion, the film still bears a palpable mystique much like other seminal horror films from the 70's.
At its core it is a triumph in filmmaking; exploiting all of the tools of the medium, much like a painter. This truly is eloquent filmmaking. The editing is at once visceral, disjointed, but beautifully operatic.
Much is also owed to the sound design, eliciting both cheap shocks and expressing the emotional barrier between the couple. It all assembles perfectly to create a deeply disquieting and intensely portentious piece which not even Donald Sutherland's perm can tarnish.
