Capital Celluloid 2021 — Day 168: Sun Oct 31

Don’t Look Now (Roeg, 1973): Castle Cinema, 7.30pm

This 16mm screening is presented by the Cine-Real team.

Chicago Reader: A frightening and consistently inventive horror story (1973) that poses a none-too-original question—are things ever what they seem, or never what they seem?—and answers that both alternatives are perfectly true. Nicolas Roeg directs with a cameraman’s eye for eerie detail and cuts his baroque images into a bizarre montage of past, present, and future tenses. It’s busy on the surface and empty in the center, but somehow it works. With Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie; based on a novel by Daphne du Maurier. Dave Kehr

Here (and above) is the trailer.
