Review of Don't Look Now (1973) by Matt M — 30 Jan 2013
An English couple still grieving the recent death of their daughter is in Venice for work. There, strange things start to happen, as their past comes back to haunt them aided by two sisters one of whom is blind but can see the dead, and by the husband who starts seeing strange visions of a young girl in a red coat running around the streets of Venice.
The true work of a visionary, with the bleak dark tones and wonderful photography taking full advantage of its setting of Venice and a complex but yet rewarding gripping storyline filled with mystery and suspense and excellent performances by Christie and Sutherland as well as one of the most shocking climaxes in the history of the paranormal thriller.
A dark and haunting film and simply amazing as well as a stylistic achievement that defines this as one of the most influential films of the seventies.
