Outline
A couple, shattered by their daughter's death, go to Venice to forget, only to find a second death is foretold and implicated in the first. Roeg's chilling adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier short story comes high in the British Film Institute's chart of best British films for good reason. A new print allows Roeg's dazzling existential riddle to shine through. Don't walk home alone...

Screening Notes

When in 1999 the BFI put together their 100 List of Favourite British Films of the 20th Century, Don't Look Now was voted in at no. 8. Such a high regard is nothing new - the film opened to exceptionally favourable reviews in 1973 and has held its own ever since as a touchstone of visually intelligent movie-making.
