About the book

In this lucid, detailed and subtle account of the film, Mark Sanderson describes the collaboration between director and actors which sustained the emotional richness of Don't Look Now. He returns to Daphne du Maurier's original text and to the traditions of Gothic writing which underpins the film's combination of horror, melodrama and black comedy. Sanderson examines the intricate visual style of Don't Look Now, uncovering the way in which particular motifs are used to amplify the film's depiction of two terrible deaths. He finds compensation for the film's grimly fatalistic view of life in its celebration of sexual relationships and the power of recollection.
