Cinéphile Sundays: 1966: Blow-Up

Antonioni had made many important films before Blow-Up, but this 1966 work was nevertheless a game-changer, perhaps because it was his first film to be widely accessible to the English-speaking world. A study of the relationship between the photograph and the world being photographed, as well as an expression of the anomie of 1960s British pop culture, Blow-Up is regularly listed by cinéphiles as the film that first blew them away and turned them into lifelong students of film.
