Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Don't Look Now is a 1973 horror/thriller film directed by Nicolas Roeg, based on a 1971 short story by Daphne du Maurier.John and Laura Baxter (Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie) are mourning the death of their young daughter Christine, who drowned in a pond outside their house, wearing a bright red raincoat. While in Venice, where John is leading the restoration project on an old church, the Baxters meet two elderly sisters, Heather (Hilary Mason) and Wendy (Clelia Matania). Heather is blind, but claims to have "second sight", and says that she saw the spirit of Christine with her parents. Heather further suggests that Christine is trying to warn her parents of impending danger, and that John himself has clairvoyant powers.John is skeptical of all this, and thinks the sisters are trying to dupe his emotionally-fragile wife. While John and Laura work through their grief and try to save their marriage, Venice is being terrorized by a series of murders. Then John notices a small figure darting around the city's alleys, wearing a similar red coat to the one Christine wore when she died. But, as John himself observes, "Nothing is what it seems."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Adaptation Expansion: The film delves a bit more into the backstory and the relationship between the Baxters than the novella does. Also, the bishop who employs John to restore the Venetian church (played by veteran Italian actor Massimo Serrato) was added as a character for the film.

Bilingual Bonus: A few scenes feature authentic Italian dialogues, some of them being quite important to understand the plot.

Alien Geometries: Venice comes across like this, with John and Laura getting lost far too easily in places they should feel familiar with, given that this is clearly not their first time in that city.
