Blow-Up (Criterion Collection) 1966 BLU-RAY
In 1966, Michelangelo Antonioni (Lavventura) transplanted his existentialist ennui to the streets of swinging London for this international sensation, the Italian filmmakers English-language debut. A countercultural masterpiece about the act of seeing and the art of image making, Blow-Up takes the form of a psychological mystery, starring David Hemmings (Deep Red) as a fashion photographer who unknowingly captures a death on film after following two lovers in a park. Antonionis meticulous aesthetic control and intoxicating color palette breathe life into every frame, and the jazzy sounds of Herbie Hancock, a beautifully evasive performance by Vanessa Redgrave (Howards End), and a cameo by the Yardbirds make the film a transporting time capsule from a bygone era. BlowUp is a seductive immersion into creative passion, and a brilliant film by one of cinemas greatest artists.
