A stunning restoration of Nicolas Roeg's iconic supernatural thriller. Based on a Daphne du Maurier short story, this haunting, enigmatic and shocking movie has topped Time Outs Best British Film of All Time poll twice in a row. On a cold, bright autumn day in Suffolk, England, a little girl in a red Mackintosh drowns in a pond —the daughter of John (Donald Sutherland) and Laura Baxter (Julie Christie). Trying to recover from the tragedy, the couple arrive in Venice, Italy, where John has been commissioned to restore a church. In the eerie atmosphere of the lagoon city in winter, they encounter two strange sisters. Laura is suddenly released from her grief when one of them, a blind psychic, tells her that she is in contact with her dead daughter. Angered and sceptical, John carries on with his work, but witnesses an unsettling vision of his own: a little girl in a red Mackintosh disappearing into the Venetian alleys. As Venice and his fate close in on John, illusion, reality and sudden terror spiral the story to its grotesque climax.
