Don't Look Now (Cult Fiction)
After their daughter Christine drowns, the Baxters travel to Venice, where John, an architect, is to supervise the restoration of a church. Laura meets two elderly women, one of whom is a medium who accurately describes Christine’s form and warns of grave danger for John.
“A triumph of tone and texture. But what makes Don't Look Now one of the creepiest movies of all time is the artful way director Roeg leads us around blind corners and down dark alleys (both literally and figuratively), straddling the line between reality and mysticism.” (Chicago Tribune)
“A haunting thriller about guilt and the supernatural. What’s notable (more notable even than the much-celebrated bedroom scene between Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland, in which sex is displaced into memory even as it’s taking place) is that Roeg’s use of the death of a child as the focus of a horror film never feels exploitative.” (Village Voice)
