In the haunting canals of Venice, a grieving couple seeks solace from an unthinkable tragedy. Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie star as John and Laura Baxter, whose world is shattered by the accidental drowning of their young daughter. Hoping to find distraction and healing while John restores a historic church, they instead find themselves drawn into a chilling web of premonitions and eerie coincidences. Their fragile peace is disrupted by two mysterious sisters, one of whom claims to be a psychic with a dire warning from beyond. Directed with unsettling precision by Nicolas Roeg, this atmospheric masterpiece weaves a tense psychological tapestry where grief blurs the line between reality and ominous foresight. As John becomes plagued by fleeting glimpses of a small figure in a red coat—a haunting echo of his loss—the labyrinthine city transforms from a place of recovery into a menacing stage for a deepening mystery. The couple must navigate a disorienting landscape of doubt, fear, and supernatural suggestion, where every reflection in the water and shadow in an alley threatens to unravel their sanity and lead them toward a terrifying, inescapable truth.
