"Don't look now" (translated as Mysterious Venice/Bloodlight Ghost Killing Knife) (1973) is hailed as the top 100 British film history. It is said that this is a technical thriller, the technicality lies in "one shot teaches you how to make a movie and cut a movie".

I think this is a film about "faith", of course this faith points to religion. The female protagonist who has no faith instinctively kisses the bishop’s ring, the setting of religious venues, the repeated emphasis on mural sculptures, etc., a large number of metaphors and clear endings, the main theme of the film is that returning to faith is the only way out of the nightmare. Faith is the only way out. It is the ultimate spiritual belonging of mankind... The

film is closely linked to the theme, layering layers of cocoons, and finally the core of the theme is revealed... Boy, do you understand it?

  • Laura Baxter: Your bishop makes me feel strange.

    John Baxter: I imagine he makes God feel less than immaculate.

  • Inspector Longhi: Age makes women grow to look more like each other. Don't you find that? Old men decay and each becomes quite distinct. Women seem to converge, eh?
