Venice can be the most magical and romantic of movie settings—or the most sinister and haunting. With its ornate architecture set upon a maze of canals as dense as its history, the city has provided the unforgettable backdrop to countless stories of dreams, nightmares, and intrigue—from the luminous enchantment of David Lean’s Summertime to the decaying opulence of Luchino Visconti’s Death in Venice to the twisted horror of Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now . Together, these films immortalize one of the world’s most unique destinations—a floating neverland, always sinking, until the day when it will become a pure memory.
