Antonioni’s camera never flinches. At love without meaning. At murder without guilt. At the dazzle and the madness of London today.
Film Synopsis
Blow-Up (1966) introduces a London fashion photographer whose casual photographs of a couple in a park prompt the woman to demand their return. When enlargements suggest that he has captured evidence of a murder, he becomes preoccupied with establishing what happened. This psychological mystery unfolds amid the studios and clubs of Swinging London, using meticulous colour compositions and an oblique narrative to explore the uncertainty of photographic evidence.
