Director: Michelangelo Antonioni
What if a shitty movie ended with a setpiece like Blow Up? I won't give anything away, but its ending is bizarre even by foreign film standards. I guess shitty writers and directors wouldn't have the balls to end their film that way, too.
Anyway, I'm in a giving mood, so despite the fact that Blow Up is at least 10 minutes too long, I give it a nearly perfect rating. It was the 60s, no one knew where to make their edits. The film has two unforgettable set pieces and a completely bonkers plot - it's a shame that its plot has been thrown into other movies and warped. Antonioni keeps the film Hitchcockian and thus centered on the individual.
