John and Laura Baxter are in Venice when they meet a pair of elderly sisters, one of whom claims to be psychic. She insists that she sees the spirit of the Baxters’ daughter, who recently drowned. Laura is intrigued, but John resists the idea.

Born in London in 1928 and died in the same city last November. He began his career as director of photography, a role he played in the second unit of Lawrence of Arabia (1962), which led to David Lean counting on him to take charge of photography in Doctor Zhivago, although due to creative clashes with the director he was finally replaced. His brief career in this position includes titles like The Masque of the Red Death (Roger Corman) and Farenheit 451 (François Truffaut). As a director he made his debut in 1968 with Performance co-directed by Donald Cammell. From here he went on directing a handful of titles, among them some as important as Walkabout (1970), Don’t Look Now (1973), The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), Bad Timing (1979), Eureka (1983) or The Witches (1990).
