Description:
Tight square spine has some heavy creasing. Clean, unmarked interior. There is a 1.5-inch tear at the foot of the front hinge, which does not affect the soundness of the binding. There are areas of light rubbing and soiling tot he covers. '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. 119 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.

N.p.: N.p., 1966. Vintage borderless photograph of model Veruschka von Lehndorff in her famous five-minute scene from the 1966 film.
Inspired by the 1959 short story "Las Babas del Diablo" by Julio Cortazar.
Michelangelo Antonioni's first English-language film, marking the beginning of the final phase of his work, co-produced by companies in Italy, the United States and the United Kingdom and featuring an international cast. The director's brash use of color, set design, non-standard editing techniques, and typical emphasis of atmosphere over plot would carry over into the two major films that followed, "Zabriskie Point" (1970) and "The Passenger" (1975).
In his 2009 essay on the film, Danny Lyon notes, "It is apt that through [his established] style Antonioni made a movie that is perhaps closest to communicating the myth of the swinging Sixties scene but also the confusion of the time. ... Britain's new and very chaotic [cultural] revolution was perhaps most effectively captured by an Italian."
Winner of the Palme d'Or. Nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay.
8 x 10 inches. Light edgewear, else Near Fine.
Criterion Collection 865. Ebert I. Grant UK/Italy.
