“This is the one who’s blind. She’s the one that can see”
Following their daughter’s death, an English couple seek a fresh start in Venice. Soon however, the wintry mist latches onto them with no chance of escape. Full of seaweed and dust, Don’t Look Now is a film of its time. Yet it makes its mark thanks to the care of its artistic direction, its two actors of irresistible beauty and charm, and their perfectly chic clothes.
A work of grief, the film’s costumes reveal it rather as a work of ghosts. Very little black, a little red, a lot of brown – tweed-clad Englishmen, too elegant for this dying city.
