Movie Reviews of Don't Look Now
Movie Review: Don't Look Now
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on a ghost story by Daphne du Maurier, Nicolas Roeg's spooky, enigmatic thriller offers just the right mix of surreal intensity and emotional distress, aided by the presence of two creepy old sisters (Hilary Mason and Clelia Matania), who claim to have psychic contact with the Baxters' dead child. Roeg gets a lot of mileage out of the labyrinthine streets and murky canals of Venice, which has an otherworldly atmosphere all its own. When John catches a glimpse of a tiny, red-coated figure darting in and out of blind alleys, the hairs on your neck will stand at attention. Definitely not for all tastes, but an arty, eerie entry for those seeking something different.Movie Review: Spelling atmosphere
Summary: 5 Stars
The gothic and sinister atmosphere you breathe since the first rapture images where the tragedy is announced , the painful fact will lead this marriage (with Venecia as beautiful background) to unthinkable consequences for both of them and will allow Roeg telling us a script filled with imagination , exceptional and skillful camera resources , based on a novel of Daphne du Maurier who inspired Hitchcock for The birds and Rebecca.Sutherland and Christie established an inmediat *chemical rapport* , a script with several twist of fate and prodigious color employement to create nightmares.
This is a true gem : one of the most remarkable pictures of that decade.
Movie Review: Beautiful and Uncensored!
Summary: 5 Stars
Paramount has finally released Nicolas Roeg's classic film on DVD in a stunning anamorphic widescreen transfer AND with the Julie Christie/Donald Sutherland love scene completly uncensored; this version is slightly more explicit than what was released in U.S. theaters and video and it makes that famous scene even better."Don't Look Now" is a great film and one of the best horror films ever made--a ghost story that not only evokes the atmosphere of Daphne Du Maurier's story but elaborates on its themes of grief and dislocation. It's Unsettling, frightening, sad, beautiful and really stands the test of time.
Movie Review: Very interesting and strange film
Summary: 5 Stars
The camera work and soundtrack contribute to the film's eery feeling. The reason they work so well is because the film also strives for and executes a very naturalistic feel at other times that sets you up and you don't expect the strange shifts. It's frightening at times and it doesn't explain everything with exposition, it doesn't have to. This movie is all about the mood and what the movie puts you into. If you allow it to work it's magic, it's quite a good little thriller, but not everyone will be drawn to it's strange tone. I consider it a classic of 70's cinema, but definitely not a mainstream classic.Movie Review: My God!...Could it be true? It's finally coming to DVD?
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is probably Nicolas Roeg's most impressive work. I simply cannot believe it has taken this long for it to come out on DVD. Rest assured I'm grabbing it as soon as it's unleashed. A new review will be submitted after I have seen it. Now all I need is to have "Performance" and "Bad Timing" on DVD and my Roeg collection will be complete. "Eureka" is okay and it would be nice to have but in my opinion Roeg became artsy for no real good reason in his later films. Wow! So "Don't Look Now" is finally coming. Could someone please release "Bad Timing" now?
