During the swinging 60s, a London photographer believes he inadvertently photographed evidence of a murder only to have the evidence mysteriously disappear. Acclaimed director Michelangelo Antonioni received Oscar-nominations for both Directing and Screenplay for this pop thriller. Starring David Hemmings ("Camelot"), Sarah Miles ("Ryan's Daughter"), and Oscar-winner Vanessa Redgrave ("Julia", "Howard," End").
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.

In My Top Ten - it's number one.This movie is not about passive "entertainment". It is about challenging concepts, every frame aesthetically composed and the lead actor, David Hemmings, a combination of ethereal physical beauty and ruthlessness. It is still studied in film school today..Score: 5/5
Wow, disgusted by the bad reviewsHave to say, it's been a favorite of mine since I first saw it in High School. I'm really sad to read some of the one star reviews here about such a great film. It's brilliantly shot, brilliantly edited, PURPOSEFULLY naturalistic and quiet (and actually for some this is one of the things that makes the film very special) and as well purposefully perplexing. That's the point. I'm also really disappointed to see that the version here is Full Frame, and there is no blu ray available for purchase by Warners. Anyway, open your minds, folks!.Score: 5/5
Antonioni on iTunes?!?!?! Did not see that coming. Way to go!!Definitely did not search for Antonioni on iTunes expecting something to actually come up. This is a brilliant film and is the second of Antonioni's color films. Suggestive and provacative upon its' release, it gives a look at a photographers life in the 60s counterculture of London. It reminds me very much of Hitchcock's Rear Window or Coppolla's The Conversation, two other fine films. If you like this, check out other Antonioni films such as Red Desert or L'Avventura. Great stuff!.Score: 5/5
GarbageOh my God. This movie is completely boring, poorly edited, has about an hour of unnecessary scenes that add NOTHING to the story, is horribly written and directed, has no pace and is absolutely meaningless. A terrible movie..Score: 1/5
Surreal, Real, Then Back to SurrealPlot of photograher becoming obsessed with something besides his work, but left with nothing in the end. Not a film for your average movie goer, but then, none of Antonioni's films are. Nice cameo by the Yardbirds..Score: 4/5
Blow up disasterWhen we rented this movie it had 5 stars. I can't imagine who thought it was that special. We couldn't even make it through the whole movie. It was the most boring, non-consequential movie I can remember seeing in a very long time..Score: 1/5
FInally, some real films on iTunesIt's great that iTunes is beginning to offer some classic art films, such as this, La Dolce Vita, and Blue Velvet. This is the content I've been waiting for, and I really hope to see more of it. This is an avant garde film, so it will not appeal to many fans of mainstream Hollywood movies. Antonioni's style is highly unconventional, relying on long, drawn-out shots and meaningful silences with no music or dialogue. This is what is being described as "poor editing" by some of the other reviewers. Don't be fooled by the people ignorantly trashing a modern masterpiece - this is a beautiful film and essential viewing for any film buff. It just requires an open mind and some patience to absorb Antonioni's meditation on media and the disconnected modern world. This film rewards thoughtful viewing..Score: 5/5

OverratedOK, maybe this movie is "art," but it's really, really boring. What I like about it is that it shows the "trippy" London of the 1960s that Mike Myers parodied in the first Austin Powers movie..Score: 2/5
TerribleA waste of my hard-earned money. It has one hour of nothing, followed by a slight buildup to a nothing ending. I'm easily pleased by most movies, but there wasn't 30 seconds of entertainment in this film. Do not watch this movie..Score: 1/5

Not a metaphysical puzzleAmong Antonioni's films, this one seems to be rather commonly misunderstood to be grasping at metaphysical questions about the nature of truth and reality, even by folks who have seen a lot of his earlier films and are pretty familiar with his concerns. Yes, Hemmings appears to see a dead body that later isn't there. Yes, Vanessa Redgrave all but vanishes in one scene. Lea Massari vanishes without a trace in "L'Avventura", but I've never heard any discussion about this raising questions about the nature of reality. It's a narrative device to examine his interest in the alienation of his characters and their coming to life briefly in the face of a mystery. In that respect, "Blow-Up" feels almost like a re-make..Score: 5/5
Blow UpI saw this movie when I was 16 and wanted to become a photographer. The film gives a good look and the fasion scene in London in the sixties. It is beautifuly filmed and edited, has an all star cast, all very young at the time and the story carries a good mystery without a full resolution, all the way we liked it back then. Worth stepping back in time if only to see the Rolls Royce convertible sporting around London..Score: 4/5
