Don't Look Now - Will's Review

I can only assume this movie wasn't available on video during the early 80's, or between opening with a child death, featuring a fairly graphic sex scene, and it's "Don't" title, it would surely have found itself on the DPP list.

As well acted as the movie is, the real star of the show though, is the editor, who takes a simple story about a couple's grief and turns it to to an atmospheric, compelling movie, full of scenes from the present intercut wonderfully with flashback (and other) material. Totally this movie is very similar to Possesion; dealing with grief in much the same way that movie dealt with a failing relationship... Only without the rubber monster!

In the minus column, the ending is totally out-of-nowhere, and stunk of a mixture between desperate shock, and "we really didn't know how to wrap this up".

As I've suggested though, this film is far more about tone than story, so the ending can be forgiven.

That lack of story though, has given me little else to say, other than "recommended".
