Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now tells the story of a couple, John and Laura Baxter (Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie), who are forced to reckon with past family tragedy when they meet a strange couple of women who claim to be able to communicate with their deceased daughter. Edited and shot in a way that suggests an elliptical sense of historical causality, Don’t Look Now insinuates that things are connected, but we may lack the intuition and perspective to discern the order until it’s too late.
