Blow-Up

As inscrutable as it is intriguing. In the early going I thought it was going to be one of those movies where nothing really happens. And then something really happens! But does it really amount to all that much? Maybe! The filmmaker didn't really tell me. So I guess it's up to me to decide. Much like the troupe of mimes who expect a complete stranger to toss back their imaginary tennis ball, I guess.
I love how much the cinematographer loves frame-within-a-frame imagery. It's pushed to it's aesthetic limits in this one.
