Don’t Look Now
After their daughter drowns, a restorer (Donald Sutherland) and his wife (Julie Christie) move to Venice. While he immerses himself in work on a church, she meets two old sisters: One claims to be a medium and - albeit blind - to ‘see’ the dead child. Nicolas Roeg's most famous film warns us right from the title: Don't Look Now. Because things are not as they seem - and yet they are. The paradoxical merging of mutually exclusive perspectives creates the uncanny atmosphere and sensual quality of this remarkable baroque fantasy. A skilful arrangement à la Roeg: the mannered images reveal the former cameraman's eye for unsettling details, while his cha-racteristic montage music interweaves past, present and future in a bizarre and compelling way. Glimmers of hope, fragments of horror - and the most maligned dwarf in film history. (Christoph Huber)
