(Turin): Einaudi, 1968. Third edition. Hardcover. 71 pages. Film tie-in edition. Michelangelo Antonioni’s iconic mystery of Swinging London follows a fashion photographer who believes he may have unwittingly captured a murder on film. As he enlarges (“blows up”) his photos, reality begins to blur, unraveling into a hypnotic study of perception, truth, and illusion. A landmark of 1960s cinema, Blow-Up remains a haunting exploration of seeing and not seeing in the modern world. Illustrated with stills from the film. This is a very good copy in dust jacket.
