Released: 2025-10-01
Duration: 2 h 50 min
Cast: Julie Christie, Donald Sutherland, Hilary Mason

To celebrate the publication of After Midnight, a new collection of Daphne du Maurier’s thirteen most chilling tales with an introduction by Stephen King, Virago and the Regent Street Cinema are delighted to present a special screening of one of her most celebrated stories: Don’t Look Now. The film will be preceded by a live panel discussion of Daphne du Maurier as the ‘Godmother of Fear’, the rise of horror through a female gaze, and why her fiction has been so rich for adaptation to screen. Copies of After Midnight will be on sale at the event. Don’t Look Now (Nicolas Roeg, 1973) is one of the most celebrated horror films of all time, hypnotically blending psychological suspense and the macabre. Adapted from Daphne du Maurier’s story, the film centres on a grieving couple (Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie) attempting to come to terms with the tragic loss of their daughter. In an eerily deserted off-season Venice, they encounter two sisters – one of whom is a clairvoyant who claims the child is trying to contact them… This incredibly special event, combining film and literature, celebrates the legacy of one of the most beloved writers of the twentieth century, and indeed all time.PT2H50M152025-10-01
