Don't Look Now (Don't click the link if you don't want certain plot developments revealed.)
A ghost story set in a labyrinthine claustrophobic Venice, Nicholas Roeg's Don't Look Now is a real gem. Drawing from sources as varied as Hitchcock and safety films for children for it's visuals, Don't Look Now leads the viewer and the protagonists, portrayed by Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie, through an ever tightening maze of dank canals and danker grief. It is also based on a story by Daphne du Maurier whose writings also inspired classic Hitchcock films such as Rebecca and the Birds.
