(1966/color/111 min.) Scr: Michelangelo Antonioni, Tonino Guerra, based on a story by Julio Cortázar; dir: Michelangelo Antonioni; w/ David Hemmings, Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles.
Based on a short story by the Argentinian writer Julio Cortázar, Michelangelo Antonioni's first English-language film, set in Swinging London, was a deconstructed whodunit, a cause célèbre, and one of the most discussed films of its time. Ostensibly a day in the life of a successful, bored fashion photographer, it also involves a murder photographed by chance and then "erased": the photographs are stolen, the body has vanished. In this existential mystery, Antonioni shows only what the photographer himself sees, leaving it to the viewer to decide what really lies behind the image or within the protagonist's heart. With its spectacular set pieces (a visit to a deserted London park at night made eerie by the sound of rustling leaves and the tour de force sequence in which one photograph is progressively enlarged to reveal a hidden "truth"), Blow-Up is a film that rewards repeated viewings with new insights.
