blow up

blow up is an interesting film in many ways: the main character is a photographer who catches proof of a murder plot in the background of one of his photographs. it is a classic film in many ways, and raises more questions that it seemingly answers. it is directed by antonioni, set in london, and raises the question of whether life itself is absurd, with no guarantee of justice for crimes done. i especially like the mimes and clowns who travel around in a car, yelling, laughing and screaming. vanessa redgrave is attractive as someone who tries to seduce the main character into turning over the film.
