Blow-Up

Merging Michelangelo Antonioni’s meticulous aesthetics and Herbie Hancock’s jazz soundtrack, Blow-Up is a masterpiece that takes the form of a psychological mystery. Set in London’s 1960’s, it tells the story of a photographer who believes he has inadvertently photographed evidence of a murder. Adapting Antonioni’s existentialist ennui to the streets of the swinging British capital, the Italian filmmaker’s first English-language feature became a countercultural vision about the act of seeing and the art of image.

Dubbed as a stylish study of paranoid intrigue and disorientation, Blow-Up is a seductive immersion into creative passion, a transporting time capsule from a bygone era, and a brilliant film by one of cinema’s greatest artists.
