Adapted from a short story by Daphne du Maurier, it is both a complex study of how people come to terms with grief and a chilling tale of murder set among the canals and churches of Venice. Featuring telling performances by Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland as the couple whose daughter has tragically died, \u003cem\u003eDon't Look Now\u003c\/em\u003e depicts the way in which the macabre and the everyday are intertwined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn his lucid, subtle account, Mark Sanderson describes the collaboration between director and actors that sustained the film's emotional richness. He returns to du Maurier's original text and to the traditions of Gothic writing that underpin \u003cem\u003eDon't Look Now\u003c\/em\u003e's combination of horror, melodrama and black comedy. Sanderson examines the film's intricate visual style, uncovering the way in which particular motifs are used to amplify its depiction of two terrible deaths. He finds compensation for the film's grimly fatalistic view of life in its celebration of sexual relationships and the power of recollection. The book includes an exclusive and in-depth interview with Roeg as well as rare and unpublished comments from Christie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn his foreword to this special edition, published to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the BFI Film Classics series, Jason Wood places \u003cem\u003eDon't Look Now\u003c\/em\u003e in the context of Roeg's film-making career, and draws upon Roeg's revealing insights into the film's production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48010581016812,"sku":"9781844575152","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781844575152-don-t-look-now.jpg?v=1785151939"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/mark-sanderson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
