I thought the atmosphere and pace of The Comfort of Strangers was somewhat similar to Don't Look Now, but The Comfort of Strangers was a more satisfying film overall.
Great score too (Angelo Badalamenti).

No, it's not that both were shot in Venice that made the atmosphere of the films similar. The Tourist was shot in Venice, as were parts of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Casino Royale (2006), and The Talented Mr. Ripley, yet none of those films was remotely similar to Don't Look Now and The Comfort of Strangers in atmosphere.
to say it's in any way superior to DON'T LOOK NOW is like outing yourself as a dimwit. Frankly, I'd keep that opinion to myself if I were you.
Good comparison, I like TCOS, an overlooked film. I also think this film is very similar to Brian De Palma's Obsession, slow, haunting with a beautiful score. Saying that all three films have brilliant soundtracks.
