Why is Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow-Up a must-see?

For the Rolls Silver Cloud III convertible.

For David Hemmings’ white jeans and black boots.

For Vanessa Redgrave in an inevitable skirt.

For Jane Birkin’s debut.

For the appearance of the model Verushka.

For the typeface in the opening credits.

For the sound of the wind.

For London’s empty streets.

For Carlo Di Palma’s photography.

For Herbie Hanckock’s jazz.

For the Yardbirds’ broken guitar.

For the green of London’s grass.

For the final poster.

For Antonioni.

For yourself.
