(Pt. 1) Hereditary / Don't Look Now
from The Next Picture Show · host Filmspotting
Ari Aster’s breakout debut HEREDITARY draws on a fair number of horror touchpoints, but it’s linked by its themes of parental grief and psychic distress to another terrifying film about the lingering impact of a death in the family: Nicolas Roeg’s form-busting 1973 thriller DON’T LOOK NOW. In this half focused on Roeg’s film, we discuss why the film’s intensity of emotion is integral to its horror, what makes its shadowy vision of Venice so unnerving, and what's behind the film’s famously graphic sex scene. Plus, some feedback on our recent episode on GOLDFINGER and INCREDIBLES 2.Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about DON’T LOOK NOW, HEREDITARY, or both by sending an email to [email protected], or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
