Blow-Up
$30.00
Antonioni, Michelangelo. Blow-Up. Simon and Schuster, 1971 (1st Printing). Softbound. 'We can take it either as an exhortation to come to terms with reality,' writes film critic Gordon Gow of Blow-Up, 'or as a cautionary tale in which the pursuit of material gain is a threat to humanity.' Adapted from Julio Cortázar's 1959 short story, 'Las babas del diablo', Blow-Up strained the sexual boundaries of mainstream cinema and ended up performing so well at the box office that it would influence the shift from Hollywood's Hays Code to the MPAA ratings system. This published edition of its script also features an essay by Antonioni and interviews with the director by Pierre Billard and Nadine Liber.
