The feature film starring Donald Sutherland
Julie Christie
Following the accidental drowning of their young daughter, John and Laura Baxter go to Venice - he to work and she to recuperate. The couple meet two sisters taking a winter holiday in the beautiful but strangely eerie city. One of the women claims to have psychic powers and convinces Laura that she can communicate with the dead child, gradually involving the couple in a series of bizarre happenings and encounters that can only lead to tragedy. This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful and mysterious films of the last decade, which will be shown tonight in the version released in America.
