Part 2 of our decades of horror: Torgo picked a 70's horror film
In this video, we dive deep into Nicolas Roeg's 1973 psychological horror masterpiece, Don't Look Now. Based on a short story by Daphne du Maurier, the film stars Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie as a grieving couple navigating the canals of Venice after the tragic death of their daughter.
We explore the film's haunting atmosphere, Roeg's non-linear storytelling, and its shocking, iconic ending. I’ll also discuss the film’s use of symbolism, especially the recurring motif of the color red, and how the setting enhances the pervasive sense of dread.
