World Premiere of restored DON’T LOOK NOW plus Nic Roeg Q & A

Don't Look NowTo celebrate the brand new restoration of DON’T LOOK NOW, available on Blu-Ray June 27th, Optimum Releasing are proud to premiere the new digital print at the Curzon Soho on Tuesday 21st June, to be followed by a Q&A with Nic Roeg and writer Allan Scott, hosted by journalist and author Jason Wood.

DON’T LOOK NOW stars Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie in Nic Roeg’s brilliantly atmospheric adaptation of the novel by Daphne du Maurier. Following the death of their daughter, John and Laura Baxter travel to Venice where he is to oversee the restoration of an old church. Here they encounter a pair of elderly sisters: one of them a blind psychic who claims to have been in communication with the couple’s dead child.

Whilst Laura is intrigued John resists the idea, despite the possibility that he is having his own visions that threaten to put his life in danger…. Genuinely unsettling, DON’T LOOK NOW is widely acknowledged as perhaps Roeg’s finest film, recently topping Time Out’s poll of the Best British Films ever.
