A young British couple devastated by their daughter’s accidental death travels to Venice, where they are haunted by recurring visions of the child. One of Britain’s pre-eminent cinematographers of the early 70s, Roeg adapted Daphne Du Maurier’s short story into an elliptical, sensuous, and chilling exploration of grief and the supernatural, full of hypnotic, ominous imagery. British icon Julie Christie followed up her Oscar-nominated performance in Robert Altman’s McCabe and Mrs. Miller with this gripping performance opposite Donald Sutherland.
