4K Restoration
Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie lead a haunting, suspenseful, and uncanny tale of tragedy in this influential horror classic.
Adapted from a Daphne du Maurier short story, Don't Look Now follows John (Donald Sutherland) and Christine (Julie Christie), still grieving over the accidental death of their daughter, as they head to Venice for John's work restoring a church. Soon, Laura meets two sisters who claim to be in touch with the spirit of their dead daughter and the couple must decide what is real, what is supernatural, and what is somewhere in-between. Renowned for innovative editing style, memorable recurring aesthetic motifs, an impressionistic formal style, and nonlinear storytelling that destabilizes the viewer, the film was controversial on its release but is now considered a classic, landing multiples times on Sight and Sound’s list of the best films of all time, the BFI list of greatest British films, and was reevaluated by Roget Ebert as an occult-horror classic. Don’t Look Now has also inspired filmmakers like Danny Boyle, Lynne Ramsey, Ari Aster, Steven Soderbergh, and many more. [110 min; horror; English and Italian]
"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." — John Petrakis, Chicago Tribune
"With Sutherland and Christie in fine form it all adds up to one of Roeg's finest films and an undeniably key work in British cinema." — David Wood, BBC
"Very few pieces of fiction have been so totally improved in adaptation. The original novelette was clever but thin; the 1973 film is one of the greatest real horror films ever made." — Andy Klein, Los Angeles Times
