The Italian Cultural Institute in Mumbai, in collaboration with the Film Heritage Foundation, the Institut Français in India, and the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan Mumbai, presents one of the most celebrated films by Michelangelo Antonioni, Blow-Up (1966), which was also his first English-language film. This special screening is part of Reel Europa, a quarterly showcase of the best of restored classic cinema from Italy, France and Germany.
Michelangelo Antonioni is considered one of the greatest auteurs in the history of cinema. Set within the backdrop of the contemporary Mod subculture of Swinging London, the film tells the story of Thomas, a fashion photographer (played by David Hemmings) who believes he may have inadvertently documented a murder.
With its unconventional narrative and its striking, hallucinatory imagery, Blow-Up probes the relationship between truth and perception. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and nominated for two Academy Awards, the film established Antonioni as one of the greatest interpreters of cinematic modernity.
