By way of a tribute to the late Donald Sutherland, and to celebrate Halloween, we’re screening Nicolas Roeg’s 1973 masterpiece Don’t Look Now, starring Sutherland and Julie Christie.
A largely faithful adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s short story, this follows a couple, mourning the death of their daughter, to Venice where the husband works on restoring a church; there they encounter two sisters, one a clairvoyant who claims the child is trying to contact them… A bold, brilliantly constructed blend of suspense and supernatural tropes, the film is also a piercing study of grief.
