Antonionioni pays respects
To film producer Antonioni -
The inspiration for my name; that ex-
tra 'oni' on the end is quite funny
To me (only). Watched 'Blowup' - a really
Entertaining and amusing picture
Also very historical; we see
Mid-sixties London grow up, skyscrapers
(By English standards), and architecture
Of earlier times groovily painted. Sex
Is not absent, unsatisfactory
Though it may be; frustrating, immature
Insincere, dangerous. Image reflects
Uncertainty, always uncertainty
Good film that Blow Up. Very London, and very Milan in a way ... cool looking isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes- that's the best thing about it for me - the sharp picture quality. A similar example is 'Clockwork Orange.' Tho a bit of bore at times, both films are marvellously shot and capture a great era in Britain, when we was fab and cool (we still are, but less so now - altho I spose proportionally there are probably more cool people now than then and less old fogeys, racists and so on!
