Lisa had a hankering to watch Blow Up again, so we watched it over the past two nights...
It's still an amazing movie. Unlikable, self-involved hero, really irritating villainess (if that's what she is), and yet it managed once again to involve us in mysteries -- what happened in that park? And what's going on with Thomas? If you want to see an art film that works, Antonioni's your man. (L'Avventura's pretty amazing too.)
And, of course, if you want to see fabulous Swinging London, Yardbirds and all...

Antonioni is a really great example of that european art film sensibility that does work. I bought L'Avventura a while ago and screened it recently and you can see how he liked to investigate deep emotional territory while painting with a big canvas. Very cool.
