For most casual movie-goers, Michelangelo Antonioni’s films can be difficult to get through. They appear slow, overly drawn-out, and at times they seem to ignore plot for long stretches of time. Blow-Up, Antonioni’s first English speaking film, is probably one of the director’s most accessible films. That isn’t to say that the film is any less challenging, but the bright, mod-British palate the film is in gives it an energy that previous Antonioni films lacked.
