Review of Don't Look Now (1973) by Eduardo L — 06 Feb 2017

Phenomenal editing. Some of the best I've ever seen, the matching and intercutting between parallel events is perfect. Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie are great, as are almost all of the supporting characters. My only issue with the performances, as well as basically the entire movie as a whole, comes with the technology used at the time. Dubbing isn't always properly timed, and some voiceover lines are cheasy. There are also some things in shots that I guess weren't caught in the viewfinder, noteably a corpse blinking. Those issues didn't ruin my viewing experience though, not even close. Still an excellent film.

I should note that, aside from a few moments, I really wasn't all that scared. Even in the scariest moments, I wasn't all that scared. I don't say this as a negative, necessarily. I just felt I should mention this as feedback for those of you planning on watching it and hoping it'll be utterly terrifying.
