- For his third outing as a director, cinematographer Nicolas Roeg came up with this sublimely creepy adaptation of a Daphne Du Maurier story shot on location in Venice. The simultaneous release of "The Exorcist" took some of the wind out of its sails in the US, but it's now considered a horror classic.

Maybe one of the most psychedelic suspense-psychic horror films ever made, ripe with speculation about space, time, reality, guilt, forgiveness. And a portrait of grief unlike any other.

@@degsbabe that’s the point of having a great film about grief though. Everyone has experienced grief and when a film captures that feeling perfectly, it’s almost always a classic. Why are you angry?
The original story is, hands down, the scariest thing I have ever read.
Is it that good one of those movies I have been meaning to watch for years maybe I will check the book instead
@@419buckeye7 both are great.. book is more like a short story though..
The ending is haunting! My all time favorite "horror" movie.
Absolutely. That ending is one of that you never forget.
_”Don’t Look Now”,_ Denis Villeneuve’s
_”Enemy”,_ and _“Mulholland Drive”_ …
Those are probably the most Haunting Endings I’ve ever seen.
Those have always stuck with me.
I didn't understand who's that killer woman in red? is she who killed the other young woman in Venice?
@@CipherSerpico
Really? The remakes of Don't Look Now and Rosemary's Baby totally miss the brille of the originals.
RBaby 1968 also had an unforgettable ending. Mia Farrow's only really stunning role. Who played her in the remake? I don't wanna know! 😬
Saw this on its initial release in the UK in 1973, and the supporting feature was 'The Wicker Man', believe it or not, two legendary films on the same bill.
wow, what a movie night!
Never forgotten the wicker man
Knew the ending before seeing the movie. Still scared the hell out of me. One of the greats.
Fantastic film that really scared me as a kid. True classic.
SUCH a brilliant film. I think it’s one of the most overlooked in the genre. And Julie Christie is absolutely luminous throughout.
One of my favourite horror films ever. "Don't look now" is a film of emotional,disturbing power and features one of cinemas most chilling final scenes.
That woman in red was the serial killer in Venice?
Excellent movie.
Could never watch this movie again scared me to death. Saw this in the 70’s. The lady in the red coat. So scary
landis is everywhere, and i love his insight on stuff....
One of my top five favorite terror films. It can't be called horror really. So beautiful ,sad and fuckin ' scary as Hell at the same time. You don't usually get a mix of vibes like that everyday. Btw my others in the top five - DLN's equals in terror, are: The Innocents, The Haunting, Rosemary's Baby, & The Haunting of Julia. (Runners up: To Kill a Mockingbird, Night of the Demon, The Birds, & Day of the Locust)
How is it not a Horror? I'd say it can be, and certainly Rosemarys Baby, The Haunting and Night of the Demon can all be called Horror films
Wait...To Kill A Mockingbird is a top 10 Terror film for you?
@@maxthepupp I know it seems weird but-yes, the childhood terror in that film is unique.
John Landis is SPOT ON.
This was my introduction to Nicolas Roeg. I was immediately struck by the fractured, nonlinear style of filmmaking. The best way to describe his films, his best films, as being cinematic jigsaw puzzles where many pieces are intentionally missing in order to allow each viewer to arrive at their own conclusions and interpretation. It's what keeps the films fresh forty plus years after they were initially released. Don't Look Now is my favourite of his films and regardless how many times I have watched it it still holds my imagination. It is mostly due to the performances of Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. This is a thinking person's horror film, in the vein of Rosemary's Baby and, to a lesser extent, The Exorcist. As someone who was a devoted fan of horror films, good and bad, Don't Look Now was something very unique. I hope the plans to remake it have been buried and forgotten. Why? Why remake a film that is damn near perfect. The story must be dumbed down to accommodate a modern audience that has the attention span of a gnat and make the story linear, leaving no room for ambiguities or mystery, and there would be a big fight between John and the killer dwarf in the red mack. John wins. It will rob the story of all its creepy atmosphere. But the original film will survive when the remake is long forgotten.
I enjoy Eureka but it's nota film that I sit an watch in its entirety very often. After the murder the story becomes,very dull and routine,especially the overly long court sequence. His films going into the 80's and beyond are very hit and miss and don't compare to what he did before. But even a disappointing Roeg film is vastly more entertaining than most directors at their best. Luckily I had an art theatre that specialised in foreign and independent films and got to some of those later films, like Track 29 and Insignificance. But in regards to Eureka I have not much to say about it and it didn't excite my imagination like Don't Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Walkabout, or Performance. These are films that were radically different from the kind of films that I was watching and opened me to what cinema could be, being something more than mindless entertainment. There is a strange timelessness to his films, even the lesser ones like Castaway, Full Body Massage, or Hearts of Darkness, each existing in their own cinematic universe that we are visiting for a length of time. It is like Thomas Jerome Newton in The Man Who Fell to Earth: he stays the same age while we get older. When I saw his last film Puffball I couldn't believe that this was the same Nicolas Roeg.
As I said in my other comment, this is quite clearly Roeg's "Giallo" and a decent one at that. It doesn't quite embrace the "pulp" aspect of other Gialli, instead adopting a more Anglicised poetic tone which comes across as a bit pretentious, especially when you consider the high concept nature of the film's central plot. The twist finale is straight out of the Giallo playbook. A cool Claudio Simonetti score or even one by Stelvio Cipriani would've added to the film's appeal IMO.
Classic film
Great film, but an AMAZING novella. Somehow, I found the original death of the daughter from an illness, rather than sudden death, to be much more compelling.
Brillian editing! Graeme Clifford, but I'm sure director Nicolas Roeg had a say in this too.😁
I think the film is a study of grief and loss. Mixed in with the clairvoyance and symbolism throughout, it is a classic movie.
I first saw the movie and it is really great - than I read the novel and must say it is a brilliant masterpiece :-)
This is a Giallo, no two ways about it. Classic.
Scared the Bejesus out of me! more so than Exorcist seriously!
It's fun to see JL talk about an actually good film that he loves in contrast to the "so bad it's good" he often features on TFH
Saw it as a kid and didn't get it although it freaked me out. Saw it again as an adult and had a greater appreciation.
Big Audio Dynamite brought me to this. E = mc2 video.
Awesome. BAD Rules!
Can anyone explain why that final look by Donald Sutherland is "one of cinema's truly disturbing moments?"
Because he's seeing his own funeral.
john is thinking of invasion of the body snatchers.
If you’re looking for a modern horror masterpiece - check out Hereditary. It’s an amazing film. It reminded me a lot of Don’t Look Now.
The Witch was also amazing. I’m not that big of a horror film guy, but Hereditary and The Witch were two of best horror movies I’ve ever seen.
If you want to know, even the director of Hereditary said that the film was inspired by Don't Look Now which it has a similar theme about grief. You can watch a video about the inspiration of Hereditary in which Ari Aster always mentioned about the grief part of Don't Look Now. I am really impressed with the way he directed Hereditary and it was really a true masterpiece modern horror film.
@@naqibazimi9371 Thank you for the information. I don’t think I’ve heard about that, before.
Yeah, I’ve become a huge fan of Ari Aster.
Have you seen/Did you like _”Midsommar”,_
and have you heard that his new film with Joaquin Phoenix is coming out soon?
@@CipherSerpico Most welcome. I knew it but didn't watch it yet. I will try to check Midsommar film because the film sounds interesting since the film distributed by A24. I am also a fan of A24 films too since I start watch Good Times. Yeah, I am also knew that another upcoming film too.
Hereditary is wonderful film-making, but in comparison to this film overall it’s quite superficial. The film (Hereditary) is so poignant in its depiction of a dysfunctional family dealing with insane amounts of grief, but turns into just a satanist film at its conclusion, and a gratuitously gory one in its last 30 minutes. Don’t Look Now’s theme is deepened and strengthened all the way until its unforgettable conclusion. Again, Hereditary is great film making but a bit more shallow in my opinion.
@@Fredo_Viola I actually had the exact same view about Hereditary’s conclusion - _Until_ I watched it a second time.
That’s when I realized what the ending was actually “about”.
Now, I think the Ending is absolutely brilliant, and that the Film is even Greater than I thought.
It made Ari Aster one of my favorite Filmmakers.
I would try watching it again, but with the idea that the conclusion isn’t meant to be some kind of “farce”;
And that it’s actually, a very deep exploration of what the Film is about.
A freaky film. One of the only films that truly scares me. John Landis looks like a Rabbi.
wonderful movir
Simon Gilmore what!
ITS A WONDERFUL MOVIR
Why still because he is still (2020) alive????
Landis mentions the love scene. When this came out there was speculation that the actors were having an affair. Not so apparently as Sutherland was having sexy time with Jane Fonda.
Damn I didn’t know Donald was such a player. You go boy!!
John Landis, you should be making movies today. The current state of films is garbage, nothing like the rawness and ingenuity of the 70s and 80s etc.
His career went more or less downhill since Twilight Zone. That accident surely damaged his career, guilty or not.
Jules F. Melo Borges
I like Johns films but its guilty unfortunately.
the creepiest non-horror film...
☆☆☆☆☆
Did Landis just spoiled the film?
At genuinely mysterious creepy film ,got a lot of publicity for the sex scene but would have worked just as well without it.
Spoiler Alert !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it Trailers From Hell because it's a horror trailer or because of the fucking bizarre editing?
😂
how can they portray a city like venice as violent...
Rambo Tan the atmosphere of the city is haunting and creepy
@@lilacrane5648 And very true to life…
Wonderful, complex movie FAR superior to the overhyped Exorcist which was just a barrel of tawdry tricks with a fuddled plot. Looks cheap these days, whereas Don't Look Now has acquired classic status (apart from Sutherland's perm).
i'm really not impressed with you.
