In 1973, the Academy embraced horror in a big way by slapping cultural phenomenon The Exorcist<\/em> with 10 nominations – but then The Sting<\/em> would triumph over its success on Oscar night. Critic David Sims returns to the show to talk about a different iconic and formative horror title, Nicolas Rouge’s Don’t Look Now<\/em>. With prestige stars Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie, the film follows a married couple grieving the loss of a child while working overseas in Venice. Clairvoyance, a serial killer, and disturbing visions all amount to a unique horror film that would influence many to come, but nevertheless one that the Academy was not ready to embrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode, we talk about the film’s notorious sex scene and the film as an odd middle ground between The Exorcist<\/em> and Last Tango in Paris<\/em>. We also talk about how the reputation of the film’s twist ending, Christie’s Oscar legacy, and how Sutherland was never nominated for an Oscar ahead of his honorary win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics also include David’s favorites of 1973, Jefferson Mays on Broadway, and the Oscar streaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
