"18.2. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Aidoimpia surun, kestämisen ja epäilyksen sekä lämpimän ja luottavaisen avioliiiton kuvauksia, mitä on. Loppu ei tietysti enää toisella kerralla yllätä, mutta musertava se yhä on."

A good movie

“Since I kept hearing some really good things about this movie, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, even if I really liked it, to be honest, I have to admit that it didn’t really blow me away though. The main issue, I guess, was that there were some big chunks of time during which nothing much really happened. Still, there is no doubt that Nicolas Roeg delivered here a fascinating movie above all thanks to some stellar cinematography and editing. Indeed, the whole thing started with the most nightmarish intro you could imagine. Afterwards, Venice had never look so spooky before and the damned thing was just seriously ominous and unsettling. Of course, the fact that most of the action took place abroad also increased the sense of alienation experienced by the two main characters. On t” read more

Don't Look Now

“When he was (finally) presented with his (overdue) Honorary Academy Award in 2017, Whoopi Goldberg specifically highlight Donald Sutherland’s enigmatic, gripping, haunted performance in Don’t Look Now as a primary example of his talents as an actor. She not displayed great taste in cherry picking this film as a standout of his exemplary career but underscoring just how humane and tangible his work in this film remains. Sutherland plays a man grappling with the death of a child, now genuflecting for an escape from the all-encompassing grief he and his wife are experiencing.   His wife (Julie Christie) indulges in the spiritual and supernatural world, frequenting a psychic and praying for visions of the future where the darkness is worked through. While he buries himself in here and ” read more

"Grieving parents are told that their recently deceased daughter is trying to reach out to them and soon their perception of reality begins to change in the face of strange occurences. A stunning use of color, symbolism, and editing abound in this highly influential flick from the legendary Nicolas Roeg. Stylistically indebted to Hitchcock, this supernatural thriller set the stage for a lot we now take for granted in the genre while simultaneously presenting us with a striking look at the grievin"

"Don’t Look Now is driven by a crushing sense of emotional desolation. The phrase “psychic thriller,” which was used to market the film, is technically true, but misleading, given that psychics are normally used by directors as springboards for action set pieces or as agents for ushering forth the explicit arrival of ghosts. There are certainly ghosts in Don’t Look Now, and maybe even the kind that populate traditional horror stories, but the prevailing specters here are those that people"

"17.2. Nicolas Roegin mysteerielokuvassa on hyvin giallomainen meininki. Kaikesta tehdään jollain tavalla jännittävää, vaikka en oikeastaan edes tiedä, mitä lopulta jännitin. Elokuva on juuri tämän takia todella kiehtova. Pidin myös siitä, miten elokuva näyttää Venetsian lähinnä rappeutuvana ja homeisena kaupunkina, jossa vesi on kuluttanut vanhat rakennukset surkeaan kuntoon ja rotat ja kulkukoirat vaeltelevat pitkin pimeitä kujia. Loppukohtaus tuntui aivan piinaavan jännitt"

"14.8, PC Parhaimmillaan aavemaisen tunnelman omaava kummitustarina, joka toimii hyvin myös draamana. Pientä jumittelua esiintyi joko pääkopassani tai televisioruudussa. Loppukohtaus on tyylikäs ja kuumottava, ja olisinkin toivonut samanlaista fiilinkiä useammin tämän parituntisen aikana."
