Comment on Freedom, revolt and pubic hair: why Antonioni’s Blow-Up thrills 50 years on

Freedom, revolt and pubic hair: why Antonioni’s Blow-Up thrills 50 years on

The flawed but absorbing 60s movie about a photographer who unwittingly captures a murder scene still poses important questionsMemory is a great maker of fictions. Take the 1960s. The decade exists in the public imagination in a quite different way from the one most people actually lived through. The old line goes that if you can remember the 60s you weren’t there, but it’s probably more truthful to say – you were there, only you didn’t hang out in Carnaby Street, have your clothes made by Mr Fish or trip on acid while driving a Lotus Elan.
