Italian Film Festival - Cinema Italiano
The Italian Film Festival starts this week in Auckland and as usual there is a great selection of Italian Cinema past and present.
One of the stand outs for me is Blow Up (1966). Blow-Up was inspired by a short story by Spanish writer Julio Cortázar. David Hemmings plays Thomas, a wealthy fashion photographer in sixties swinging London. He spends his time photographing and seducing fashion models until one day, he suspects he may have photographed something far more sinister: a murder.
With an original score by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock and a cast that includes Vanessa Redgrave and Jane Birkin this is one very stylish thriller.
