Nico­las Roeg’s sem­i­nal 1973 thriller is return­ing to cin­e­mas on 5 July.

Wide­ly regard­ed as one of the best and most influ­en­tial British films ever pro­duced, hav­ing been cit­ed as a key inspi­ra­tion by every­one from Ben Wheat­ley to Lynne Ram­say, Nico­las Roeg’s Don’t Look Now has lost none of its poten­cy in the 46 years since its orig­i­nal the­atri­cal release.

Adapt­ed by Allan Scott and Chris Bryant from Daphne Du Maurier’s 1971 novel­la, the film fol­lows a mar­ried cou­ple (played by Don­ald Suther­land and Julie Christie) whose rela­tion­ship is test­ed to break­ing point by the sud­den death of their young daugh­ter. It’s a chill­ing ghost sto­ry and a poignant study of grief rolled into 150 enthralling, for­mal­ly uncom­pro­mis­ing minutes.

Now this icon­ic film is mak­ing its way back into cin­e­mas fol­low­ing a painstak­ing restora­tion project over­seen by cin­e­matog­ra­ph­er Tony Rich­mond. The process involved scan­ning the orig­i­nal cam­era neg­a­tive at 4K res­o­lu­tion in 16bit to cre­ate a dig­i­tal print, from which a spe­cial ultra HD collector’s edi­tion has also been made.

Don’t Look Now is re-released in cin­e­mas on 5 July and then in all home ents for­mats on 29 July, with a whole host of pre­vi­ous­ly unseen extras mate­r­i­al. Check out the 4K restora­tion trail­er below, along with a snazzy new poster designed by Jere­my Enecio.
