Don't Look Now
(UK, Italy/1973)
Directed by Nicolas Roeg

An Anglo-American couple travels in Venice, while the city is shaken by a mysterious series of murders. Possibly Nicolas Roeg's finest directorial achievement, Don't Look Now is not only a spine-chilling tale of the uncanny with paranormal overtones, but also a visual tour-de-force that both confounds and awes the spectator with its daring compositions, cuts, and color schemes.

Preceded by:

The Tell-Tale Heart
(USA/1941)
Directed by Jules Dassin

This first film of Jules Dassin ("Rififi") is an expressionistic take on the Edgar Allan Poe classic short story. The camera moves dynamically around a small space deftly putting the audience in the quaking boots of the terrified young man.
