This is a good story, well acted, with a fun ending. Plus it has a very long, groundbreaking and famous sex scene between Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. I did not know it had a famous sex scene, so I'm watching, and watching, and watching, and thinking - this is a little long. This is a little graphic. I wonder if this had distribution problems? Forget distribution problems! According to Wiki, Warren Beatty actually flew in to visit the set because he was worried about what was going on. Warren Beatty was worried.
It's a ghost story / suspense / almost horror movie. It's based on a Daphne du Maurier book, so it's got a gothic feel. It's shot on location in Venice and the English countryside, so it looks fantastic. It has - not just a priest - but a bishop. It's spooky. I'm watching it again.
Beware: it starts with the death of a child. The question is - does she stay dead?
