Storia
John and Laura Baxter travel to Venice for John to restore a church while they grieve over the drowning of their young daughter. They encounter two mysterious sisters; one claims to be psychic and gives Laura a message suggesting their daughter's spirit is still present. John, however, dismisses this and experiences disturbing hallucinations. Laura becomes increasingly drawn to the sisters' messages, causing tension with John. The story intensifies as they chase after what they believe is their daughter seen wearing her red cloak.
Riassunto
Directed by Nicolas Roeg in 1973, 'Don't Look Now' is a psychological horror-thriller adapted from Daphne du Maurier's short story of the same name. Set amidst the Venetian architecture and atmosphere, the film explores themes of grief, loss, and supernatural occurrences through John and Laura Baxter's experiences. It's known for its unsettling narrative, stylistic editing, and an infamous sex scene between Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland that's intercut with a shocking act of violence.
