Our Remembering Donald Sutherland series wraps up with Don’t Look Now, Nicholas Roeg’s 1973 psychological horror.
The film centers on John (Donald Sutherland) and Laura Baxter (Julie Christie), a grieving couple who relocate to Venice after the accidental drowning of their young daughter. In Venice, they encounter two elderly sisters, one of whom claims to be psychic and conveys a message from their deceased child, warning of danger. As John becomes increasingly obsessed with mysterious sightings and ominous occurrences, the line between reality and the supernatural blurs.
Controversial at the time of its release for its sexual content, Don’t Look Now is now regarded as a thought-provoking milestone of the horror genre.
