October’s here and we, like the rest of the western world, have gone into spooky mode. This week we're talking about obscure psychological thriller, DON’T LOOK NOW (1973) directed by Nicolas Roeg. A portrait of grief with a bit of the supernatural mixed in, Dave’s pick stars Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie as a couple coping with the loss of their young daughter. A fan of late 60s and 70s psychological horror, Ashley finds plenty to love here, especially in the abandoned, labyrinthine Venice that serves as both backdrop and symbol in this film. Can this couple escape from a prophecy of doom?
