Blow-up - Photoshooting scene

Blowup is a 1966 British-Italian art film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, his first to feature an English language screenplay and also the first British film to feature full frontal female nudity.

As a famous fashion photographer, Thomas mixes with the rich and famous. But he is disillusioned with his work and rich lifestyle, where even casual sex is mechanical and contrived. Then one day he secretly takes photos of two lovers in a park. The woman of the couple pursues him; eventually finding his apartment and trying to seduce him for the film. This leads Thomas to investigate the film, making blowups (enlargements) of the photos. This seems to reveal a body, but the director cleverly used the heavy film grain and black & white imagery to obscure the image. This drives Thomas to keep making blowups and try to find the truth.

This scene is from the fashion photoshoot. An amazing look at Swinging London, 60's Models, and Fashion.

I'm watching Blow-Up in here, and my room mates are watching Hannah Montana out there. Not hard to see who has better taste. (And David Hemmings...God, where's a time machine when you need one? YUM!)

David Hemmings was soooo right for this movie. Benjamin Britten was an older man who too David as a young lover early in David's life and he projects that sexual ambiguity onto the screen (largely missed by audiences of course but Antonioni was no fool
