- Description
Professional photographer Thomas didn't see anything. And yet he saw everything. The enlarged photographs of the couple in love, which he secretly took in the park, show a murder. Or do they? Michaelangelo Antonioni´s Blow-Up, winner of the newly established National Society of Film Critics' Best Film and Director Award in 1966, is an important, stylish study of paranoid intrigue and disorientation. It's also a time capsule, preserving a semblance of the original London style of the era, an unrepeatable space of fashion, free love, parties, music (Herbie Hancock wrote the score and The Yardbirds the club riff) and fashion fatigue. David Hemmings embodied the exhausted photographer who is re-energized by the secrets hidden in his photographs, while Vanessa Redgrave portrayed the unattainable woman captured in these photographs. The mystery of what you see, what you don't see, and what the camera sees, you must solve for yourself...
