Adapted\u003cbr\u003efrom a short story by Daphne du Maurier, it is both a complex study of how\u003cbr\u003epeople come to terms with grief and a chilling tale of murder set among the\u003cbr\u003ecanals and churches of Venice. Featuring telling performances by Julie Christie\u003cbr\u003eand Donald Sutherland as the couple whose daughter has tragically died,\u003cbr\u003eDon't Look Now depicts the way in which the macabre and the everyday are\u003cbr\u003eintertwined.\u003cbr\u003e In his lucid, subtle account, Mark Sanderson describes the collaboration\u003cbr\u003ebetween director and actors that sustained the film's emotional richness.\u003cbr\u003eHe returns to du Maurier's original text and to the traditions of Gothic writing\u003cbr\u003ethat underpin Don't Look Now's combination of horror, melodrama and black\u003cbr\u003ecomedy. Sanderson examines the film's intricate visual style, uncovering the\u003cbr\u003eway in which particular motifs are used to amplify its depiction of two terrible\u003cbr\u003edeaths. He finds compensation for the film's grimly fatalistic view of life in its\u003cbr\u003ecelebration of sexual relationships and the power of recollection. The book\u003cbr\u003eincludes an exclusive and in-depth interview with Roeg as well as rare and\u003cbr\u003eunpublished comments from Christie.\u003cbr\u003e In his foreword to this special edition, published to celebrate the 20th\u003cbr\u003eanniversary of the BFI Film Classics series, Jason Wood places Don't Look Now\u003cbr\u003ein the context of Roeg's film-making careeer, and draws upon Roeg's revealing\u003cbr\u003einsights into the film's production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sanderson, Mark","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":53245198401875,"sku":"9781844575152","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Like New","offer_id":53245198369107,"sku":"XE81844575152","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/sanderson-mark-mark-sanderson-don-t-look-now-2012-1227207430.jpg?v=1773437770","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/mark-sanderson-dont-look-now-2012","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
