A valued book for my favorite film,
By
This review is from: Don't Look Now (BFI Modern Classics) (Paperback)
After 20 odd years of studying this film over and over (at least 25 viewings), I was glad to find Sanderson's book filled with pictures and interesting commentary, although he seems to skirt over the film's considerable suggestion of Jungian concepts about synchronicity, etc. He does make a firm case for DON'T LOOK NOW being one of the best films about grief and grieving ever made, and,moreover, uncovers its gothic text intelligently. Not highbrow in any sense, just thorough and smart, and good reading to boot! It's also great to have a list of the opening and ending sequences in this shot by shot format, since there's never been a montage anything like Roeg's jewel created since 1973.

A Haunting Film...A Fascinating Book,
This review is from: Don't Look Now (BFI Modern Classics) (Paperback)
This is a great book for anyone who loves the film, "Don't Look Now," by Nicolas Roeg. The film itself is an extraordinary and powerful thriller and love story--anyone who has seen it can never forget its beginning and ending scenes, or its beautiful sex scene between Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. The movie is filled with hidden secrets and little details which this book does a good job of pointing out. It also goes through, shot-by-shot, the opening and climactic scenes. A very interesting book. It also helps that the author writes on a personal, intimate level without being stuffy or confusing.
