This days I stopped a little bit hanging out and started renting some movies in the friendly video nearby. In the store there were some special series of Michelangelo Antonioni. A director I admire very much.

So I rented first:

Professione: reporter (1975)

A very good one with Jack Nicholson playing the role of a reporter that does a great shift in his live. This one is for watching twice.

And then I saw:

Blowup (1966)

That didn’t captured me that much, maybe because I stopped it many times, or I was not in my best mood. But the photography is excellent, London in the sixties at it’s best, with all the ambient an noises. I guess I didn’t connect with the film… I recommend it though and I’m going to watching again later.
One thing I didn’t know is that Jane Birkin is also a singer. The memorable scenes with Gillian Hills in Blow up can be seen here. After seeing both videos you will appreciate that she is incredibly beutiful young and years later.

As some say Before them, films were just movies
