"Blow-Up" by Michelangelo Antonioni

Cinema

In a park in London, a young photographer catches a couple he thinks making love. He discovers then in the photo a hand holding a revolver and a body lying behind the bushes…
Based on the short story "Las babas del diablo"by Julio Cortázar, the film won the Grand Prix at 1967 Cannes Film Festival.

"From its intoxicating color palette to its dazzling cinematography, Blow-Up remains -50 years after its debut- a stunning landmark of European art cinema and a sublime time capsule of its countercultural moment."
(from the Chicago Film Festival presentation)
