Review of Blow-Up (1966) by Aaron E — 10 Feb 2008
Cant go wrong with the master. Image and reality are entwined and meanings are blurred in this more than meets the eye 60s culture of facade. What better way to explore the facade than with an expert photographer? Unable to unravel the mystery, he surrenders to the phenomena of spectacle as seen in the final sequence.
The scene in the park is one of the most unforgettable moments in cinema history as are several others. Thoroughly engaging and some claim it more accessible than Antonioni's earlier work but to me, I just thrive on all his films.
