WEEKEND WATCH: Blow-up by Michelangelo Antonioni (1966)
The Swinging Sixties, London: a popular fashion photographer who is bored and frustrated with his work, one day unwittingly captures a possible murder on film...
Michelangelo Antonioni's key idea was to show the blurred lines between reality and illusion, and to question the artist’s role in interpreting the world, which gave the film its philosophical depth.

Though the plot is interesting, what is more important is that beyond it lies a profound visual essay on the act of seeing — something every photographer, artist, and designer deals with. Blow-Up redefined how cinema engaged with contemporary art and fashion, influencing generations of visual creatives. From color composition to framing, each scene is a masterclass in visual storytelling.

Watch it not just as a film, but as a lens into the very process of creative observation.
