A few interesting scenes/moments for sure, but time has not been kind to this slow-moving, arty affair. Or maybe it's just that I can't seem to care for rude, misogynistic and arrogant main characters that wander around for 1,5 hours while waiting for anything to happen.

I have to admit, I don't know what to think. Not that I found the movie confusing, just that my reaction to it is very lukewarm. I found it intriguing, engaging, very well photographed, and unique. I would even say I liked it. And yet... I don't like it a lot.

A borderline-perfect piece that works under the surface. In its opening scenes, all the themes are built perfectly--voyeurism, deceptiveness of appearance, excess, perception of reality...and throughout the rest of the film, the protagonist's actions mirror ours as we dissect and attempt to throw ourself into this bizarre circumstance. One of the rare times when the medium of film matches perfectly with the subject it's capturing.

I like it a lot -- more than I expected beforehand. I thought the "what is real?" angle worked very well. I was expecting there to be more time devoted to the murder plot, but in the end that wasn't really the most important part. It's also interesting to note the similarities between this and The Conversation, especially in how they both deal with the subjectivity of perception.

My first Antonioni. On the surface it's pretty simple, but this is a film of subtleties. It's very cerebral, and though I think the whole reality/perspective theme has been done better, this movie has immense style that kept me hooked. The cinematography is really outstanding.

Went out of my wheelhouse again for this one, hear so much about it I figured I ought to do my duty and see it. And after it's over I feel I've completed a duty without epiphany or anything, maybe that's the point? Anyway, I didn't get it. It sure is fun to look at and David Hemmings is super slick as the sardonic Brit, but I just can't relate to Antonioni's expression of listlessness. Give me a movie about party mimes, let me check that out, they were some fun-lovin dudes.

Most of the film is taken up by the photographer doing all sorts of random things. The things he does aren't necessarily strange in themselves, but they didn't seem to have any relevance. It was quite risque, in terms of sex and drugs. I did like the way it portrayed the 60s in London. I don't think I really 'got' it though. It might be some sort of masterpiece, but I didn't connect with it. The cameos of Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck were pretty awesome though.

one of the best movies ever made without a doubt, antonioni perfectly matches a co-relation between reality and ilussion and the result is of course breathtaking and possisional between many similitudes as real life situations could get, how a photoghraper manages to see life between his art and how he manages to comprehend it is stunning; visually beautiful and in terms of meaningful state you get comprehend the concept of loneliness and how much fissures can cause in your daily life.

Refuses to stay with the narrative conflict and wanders more than I expected, but in hindsight this is for the better, and allows an ending that doesn't follow the typical cliches of these kinds of stories. The cinematography is amazing, which is fully expected for a film that centers on photography.

(2nd viewing) People believe whatever they want to believe, no matter how far removed from reality self-delusion can carry them. Having finally rewatched Blow-Up after more than 10 years, I was surprised and pleased to have found myself as challenged by its form as I was by its content, told here through minimalistic visual language, some pretty sweet editing and a final scene that brilliantly ties together the plot and characterization to a great end.

Beautifully photographed, with Hemmings very good as a total asshole. I loved the style of it - a presumably accurate depiction of Swinging London, which I still say is meant to somewhat mock the culture. It's interesting how when the murder plot shows up we expect it to go somewhere even though it's been like an hour and nothing else has so far, but of course the point is what it stirs up in Thomas rather than solving a mystery. A lot of fun.

Admittedly it is a very long time since I saw this movie, but, at the time I did see it, its significance eluded me, and I haven’t really felt myself drawn back to it, even after subsequently (and finally) having viewed, and to a certain extent appreciated, the other works of Antonioni that are frequently considered to be masterpieces.

The moment where Hemmings discovers the 'murder', is a masterful bit of editing that is worth your time alone. The atmosphere of '60s London and the decadence of its inhabitants lead to some absurd situations, which has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. I wasn't as interested in the main characters' enigmatic state of being as I should have been, but as it is my first Antonioni-film, I found it admirable enough to delve into his other work.

The modernist movement may have been a short lived rebellion against classical narrative structure, but for me it was a wonderful experiment, of which 'Blow-Up' remains the epitome. Like shapes of clouds drifting across a summer sky, plots form and disintegrate in the effortless air of the swinging Sixties. Centered around a possible murder mystery, perhaps attempting an astute portrait of life itself, no film to my recollection has ever achieved to be so fascinatingly full of emptiness.

Frankly, I think prefer both the Coppola (The Conversation) and DePalma (Blow Out) that were inspired by it. Maybe it's my personal distaste for the whole British 'mod' culture, but the film comes across as garish and shallow, which seems to be the point, but I don't know if you get credit for achieving that goal. It's certainly good, just not the all time great it's reputation would suggest.

This movie has almost nothing to say. The plot is all over the place. A few decent topless scenes. A photographer captures a couple in the park. After he blows up the pictures, he discovers a murder. But all of the evidence is stolen, including the body. By the ending it just felt stupid and pointless.

Certainly a well-composed film (any movie about photography should be) but it threw me off with its pacing. I'm sure a lot of the deviations in story made sense at the time and further analyzing the main character's behavior can explain some of them, but on that note it was really hard for me to become invested in this guy; the longer I watched the more I came to hate him. Things only get great once he starts looking deeper into the photos. Someone's gonna have to explain that ending to me.

Again Antonioni captures the detachment and boredom that seems to characterize modern society. Through the character of the photographer, he shows us a man removed from life, distant in his interactions with others, captivated and engaged only in those brief moments when the light is just right or a spark flies in a modeling session. The murder plot works well as a foil to illustrate his apathy about life, and while he might seem shaken for a moment, apathy eventually envelops him once more.

Visually and thematically intriguing but only sporadically engrossing and a little too much on the pretentious side, "Blow Up" is, for the most part, pleasantly odd and pleasantly boring. The first half is intriguing enough but sluggishly paced. The second half does a fantastic job of generating suspense and, even if the central mystery leads nowhere (or, more specifically, to a surreal tennis sequence), there are a few undeniably gripping scenes to be found here.

Ebert is spot-on when he says: "Whether there was a murder isn't the point. The film is about a character mired in ennui and distaste." Damn right! That's what's crushing about the whole thing -- he needs a fucking murder (real or not) to pull him out of that funk, and it only grasps him for a short while.

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that this is a waste of time. Maybe I'm getting impatient but I really have no time anymore for movies like these. You can say that it's shot well, and it is, but so what? Plenty of movies are shot well and offer something for the viewer to invest in. This has uninteresting characters saying uninteresting things, and it meanders.

Antonioni is one of the all time greats, but Blow Up has always been overrated. Its significance as a cultural artifact overshadows its artistic merits which, will not inconsiderable, fail to scale the heights of his best Italian films. It's watered down Antonioni for mass consumption whose unlikely success was largely a matter of timing. Its epistemological inquiry disguised as murder mystery is clever though and it's an effective time capsule of London in the 1960's.

The very definition of "pretentious" - a smug, shallow and self indulgent piece that acts like it has great depth and importance. Okay, I'll admit I probably didn't quite "get" it - but there are other films that, while I don't fully understand, I can still enjoy. No, it's not the lack of meaning (which, I suppose, WAS the point) that I can't stand; it's the film's overwhelming arrogance and how it attempts to taunt viewers into looking for meaning where there simply is none.

a very nice film about a heartless photographer who takes superficial photos of all sorts of things, including people suffering, until he becomes slightly perturbed when he accidentally witnesses a murder through his lens. criticism could be charged that it doesn't add up to much, because it is stripped down to a rather extreme degree, but in the end it's quietly intriguing. rewatch on 17/07/2014, same opinion essentially. still adore the ending.

It's interesting to compare this to Antonioni's Italian-language Monica Vitti movies. L'avventura and L'Eclisse are richer and more warm-blooded, but Blowup is a bit easier to stomach and Antonioni's singular sense of consequentiality is here, and some awesome scenes (especially the ending). Anyway, the synposes completely misrepresent this movie, drawing one's attention to its most superficial elements. You can't really summarize Blowup because its impact comes from its littlest features.

I liked that the story and main character kept getting distracted, and sometimes for really silly reasons, but I hated those mimes and the ending was annoying.

Is Blowup a historical representation of the Mod scene? A satirical criticism? The answer matters less than anything that happens in this film. The Mod vanities are quickly redundant, very weak, and fail to make this supposedly attractive pull of no responsibility empathizable. And yet for all of this empty hedonism, 10 minutes focused on a Yardbirds cameo shows Antonioni is clearly in love with it. Conveying lifelessness doesn't mean your film has to be lifeless. Every theme's a contradiction.

This film is visually stunning. It's startling. The story is engaging enough and the performances are all convincing (it seems to me that Jane Birkin is underrated as an actress), but it's the look that gets me; whether it's a street, a park or the warren-like artist's studio. The appearance of The Yardbirds is also a winner for me. Having said all this, the end is a let down (really, mime tennis?). The only Antonioni film I've seen to date.

I started to roll my eyes at the constant excursions into the hipster culture of the 60s (Hey look! The Yardbirds!), until I realized that was the point. It takes a murder to inspire anything resembling emotion or a moral compass from a protagonist almost too deeply embedded in that lifestyle to care about much of anything. The photo-developing scene is masterful.

Beautiful in every possible way, definitely it deserves all the acclaim it gets. A rumination on the concept of context, it is full of images way better than its main character takes. It is special in the way of how it keeps the focus on the main character all the time while inroducing new elements; it seemed like life washed off him with each step he took. It was a stroke of genius when all the seemingly redundant scenes were turned into a statement towards the end.

Easily the weakest of Antonioni's 60s films. It doesn't leave me with the same emotional devastation as the previous movies, and I think it's too busy trying to emulate the swinging 60s to do a good job actually criticizing them. But it also feels like Antonioni's most personal work, portraying an artist who is, in many ways, alienated from his own work and the world that he captures within it. The ending is quite brilliant.

A culmination of brilliant subtext and utterly banal filmmaking. When the point you're trying to make revolves around a creep in a strange reverie, is there merit to a film about an incredibly unlikable protagonist and a near absence of plot? Blow-Up is a film school movie, plenty to talk about, and yet, why can't I stop yawning? Score is not a grade.

Not really a film, more of a photo book, but what a photo book.

Blow-Up was a movie about what you can see. And what you don't. It's a story shot through eyes of a photographer who showed you things the way he saw them. And it contained a lot brilliant scenes, not to forget the mystery part in the end.

A slow, but unique and at times haunting experience. I need to rewatch this in a more comfortable chair.

Wonderfully filmed, no idea what was going on half the time but I suppose you'll need to see a few more times to figure that out.

Just didn't work for me at all. There are a lot of great individual scenes, but it just doesn't add up to a great film to me. Maybe I'll enjoy it more if I watch it again sometime.

Coasts by on vibes, endless driving scenes and avant-garde existentialism where the character wonders if they really do exist. You either dig this sort of thing or you are left bored, there's no in-between.

Blow-up straddles the line between terrible and great, often dipping into either depending on the situations of the film. Because Blow-Up meant to be ambiguous in theme, much of its ideas come across muddled and not saying anything one way or the other. The scene with the Yardbirds is a highpoint, while the scene with the rape is a low - just as an aside, the rape scene could be trying to say something but it doesn't succeed in my opinion.

Antonioni was a genius. This is not one of my top favourites, but it's still beautiful and a superb depiction of the period.

TBH, my least favorite Antonioni so far due to the extremely unlikable lead and the pretentious London scene. But still a fascinating film and a great time capsule. A man's ego dissolves when he finds a machine doing his job better than he does. An essay on hyperreality (images on images on images/the society of the spectacle.) A violent, misogynistic, inane society ignoring the squalor it feeds off, out of sync with its time (compare to what the rest of the world was doing at the time.)
