Synopsis
Don’t Look Now (1973) follows a grieving couple who travel to Venice after the accidental death of their daughter and become entangled in eerie events when a blind woman claiming to be psychic insists she can sense their child’s spirit. As John dismisses the spiritual warnings at first and Laura becomes more receptive, they both begin to experience strange, haunting sightings in the foggy city, especially of a small figure in a red coat that recalls their daughter’s last moments. The film uses innovative editing, haunting imagery and emotional depth to explore grief, loss, fear and the way memory can blur into prophecy and terror.
