Don't Look Now

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Heard about this film all my life, never seen it. Filmed in 1973, starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie.

It's supposed to be the most terrifying ever thing ever filmed. Makes the Exorcist look like an episode of Rainbow, apparently.

It's starting on ITV3 in ten minutes.

I'll be watching it inbetween flicking back and forward to Family Guy and Friends on the other channels, in case it really is that scary.

It depends on your personal definition of "scary". It's certainly chilling, and has a very affecting ending. Worth watching, it's very good; and Julie Christie is excellent.

It's one of my favourite films of all time. But it's not an Exorcist-style of horror film. It's beautifully photographed, carefully made and quite eerie.

It's also famous for the steamy sex scene between Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland.

And the rubbish ending.

It's atmospheric rather than chilling; it's also heavy going and I wonder why everytime it's been on the telly they show it late at night as I always fall asleep every time I try to watch it.

The sex scene has been the stuff of legend, as it has been alleged that Sutherland did actually fcuk Christie (and who could blame him?)

Well, that rather depends, doesn't it?

Well it is, really, but a bit harrowing nonetheless.

I had bad dreams over that bloody dwarf and his red duffel coat for days after I first saw the film.
