Blow-Up

1966 · TMDB 7.3

Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni

A successful mod photographer in London whose world is bounded by fashion, pop music, marijuana, and easy sex, feels his life is boring and despairing. But in the course of a single day he unknowingly captures a death on film.

Why it matters

Michelangelo Antonioni's swinging London mystery, where a fashion photographer believes he has accidentally photographed a murder, only to find the evidence dissolving into abstraction.
