A young British couple, devastated by their daughter’s accidental death, travels to Venice where they establish contact with the child through a blind medium. Haunted by recurring visions of the child, they make a series of discoveries that drive the film to its frightening, psychological resolution. Adapted from Daphne Du Maurier’s short story, this unnerving exploration of the supernatural is full of hypnotic, ominous imagery and one of the most memorable lovemaking scenes in the history of film. British icon Julie Christie, of Darling, Doctor Zhivago, and Fahrenheit 451 fame, followed up her Oscar-nominated performance in Robert Altman’s McCabe and Mrs. Miller with this gripping performance opposite Donald Sutherland.
