Don’t Look Now

Don’t Look Now is a Nicolas Roeg movie made in 1973. This movie is a psychological thriller/drama, an independent British-Italian film. As an Art cinema Movie it was one of the interesting Italian art cinema movies i have watched. This movie is was adapted from the short story by Daphne du Maurier. It follows the story of a married couple who travel to Venice after the accidental death of one of they young children, their daughter. The husbands job is to restore churches, so he gets an offer in venice and they move. when they arrive to venice they meet two sisters, one being blind who were psychics, had a power to talk to souls of the dead and see, feel, and all to spirits. One day when the couple are having lunch the two sisters tell the wife that they can see the spirit of their dead daughter siting haply in between the couple. After that day the wife started hanging out with the two sisters but the husband did not like this idea because the wife was emotional and psychologically not stable from the traumatic experiences of loosing her daughter. The two sisters tell them that the daughter is trying to contact them and warn the from danger. The husband starts seeing his daughter in her red coat running around. The director used the color red that represents blood to make the movie more intense. This movie had a lot of hallucination in it that it was a little bit hard to follow. It kind of reminded me of Cache, because some parts was not clear if the husband was hallucinating or the event was actually happening. For example there is a scene were the husband sees his wife in a black dress on a boat standing next to a coffin. But the wife was suppose to be out of town so he tries to reach out to his wife and he finds out that she is actually back in venice and it turned out that the wife wasn't in venice. But then at the end of the movie we see the same scene again, the wife in a black dress standing on a boat next to a coffin, which is his husbands coffin because he passes away at the end of the movie.  This means that earlier in the movie the husband had seen the future, hi wife standing next to his coffin when he dies. The husband is killed by a creature whom we do not know anything about, what she was or what she wanted. An old short lady in the dead daughter's red coat.

It is a very interesting film and i really do recommend it if anyone is interested in thrillers and psychological movies.
