Film Review: Don't Look Now
DON'T LOOK NOW (Nicolas Roeg, 1973)
The film is classified as horror for a reason. However, it's not the kind that deliberately scares the audience to promote screaming. It's the imagery, however subtle, that can run the audience's imagination and can bring chills. The team of Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie is an indispensable component of this great film.
