Additional InformationNicolas Roeg's third film - after the brash PERFORMANCE (1970) and meditative WALKABOUT (1971) - is a haunting thriller that confirmed the director's status as a true visionary. Based on a story by Daphne Du Maurier, DON'T LOOK NOW follows a grieving English couple to Venice, where the past continues to plague them. John Baxter (Donald Sutherland) and his wife Laura (Julie Christie) are in mourning for their young daughter, who drowned tragically near their home. John takes a job in Venice so that the couple can leave the past behind, but, unfortunately, the past is not easily forgotten. While John begins to see unsettling visions of a young girl in a red coat running through the Venice streets, Laura learns from an elderly psychic that her husband is in grave danger. What follows is an eerie, erotic mystery that builds to a shockingly horrific climax. DON'T LOOK NOW is one of the most daring and influential motion pictures of the 1970s. From Pino Donaggio's atmospheric score to Graeme Clifford's elliptical editing (exemplified in the film's notorious sex scene), Roeg's film is a stylistic achievement. Sutherland and Christie are their typical phenomenal selves playing the bereaved, devastated couple.

ReviewsRoger Ebert - One of the great horror masterpieces, Sight And Sound - Roeg's masterly adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier's story is as much a meditation on grief as a conventional horror pic..., Chicago Sun-Times - Nicolas Roeg's 1973 film remains one of the great horror masterpieces working not with fright, which is easy, but with dread, grief and apprehension., Total Film - One of the most dynamic and radical British films ever made..., The Guardian - A masterpiece, Empire - ...DON'T LOOK NOW is one of the definitive mystery chillers of all time. Poignant, beautiful and devastating
