Don’t Look Now
Directed by Nicolas Roeg
110 mins

Open Shelf Films on Fridays offers screenings of films that have influenced exhibiting artists. February's films are selected by Jonas Burgert. Working with elements of the traditional horror genre - second sight, ESP, warnings from the dead, a mad killer - and a cinematography of disquieting beauty and dreamlike sense of dislocation, director Nicolas Roeg weaves a fabric of anxiety that questions all reality in Don’t Look Now. The evocative use of the back streets of Venice is a sinister participant in the action based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier.
