    Review of the Criterion blu-ray edition of Blow-up
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2017*

The first thing I did was compare the new Criterion blu-ray of Blow-Up with the Warners DVD. To be fair, the older DVD has always looked good, but the blu-ray, made from a 4K scan, is better for detail and most impressive in vibrancy of color. Color is an essential component of this film and we see it to great advantage now. The uncompressed soundtrack is a joy to hear, particularly for the quiet scenes in the park.The Criterion blu-ray is a must-have for fans of Blow-Up when it comes to supplements. The older DVD has a commentary that was a huge letdown at the time of its release and a new one would have been more than welcome. Even more than one commentary, approaching the film from different vantage points would have been nice. But we can't complain when the the other supplements are this good. Two short extras-- one about photography/cinematography and the other about Antonioni and modernism are interesting, the latter in particular. There are actor interviews as well. A short one with Jane Birkin, two with David Hemmings and one with Vanessa Redgrave. The second one with Hemmings (from 1977) is very informative about the actor, while the Redgrave interview, lasting 45 min, is fascinating with her observations about Antonioni, film making, and Blow-Up itself. There is also a longer documentary about the making of the film and it's something that can be watched over and over, like Blow-Up itself. The film's original trailer and teaser are included and they show how the film was marketed as something other than what it really is.  A winner all around.

    The Experience of a Strange Day
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2017*

This is a really good film but you must keep it in its proper context. The protagonist is a successful fashion photographer who hates his job. He is sick and tired of the phoniness to this business that he has taken to photographing the real side of life and is putting a book of pictures together with his publisher. He decides that the book has grown a bit dreary and needs a more cheerful line of pictures and notifies the publisher that he may have found them. He photographed a couple in the park deeply in love. Even in the 'real' world it's found. Or is it? From the moment she spots the photographer, photographing them, she is determined to obtain the film. All her efforts fail and only convince him that he missed something. So he examines the pictures on the film more closely until he notices something. What is she looking at? After he has run through another series of photos he spots a hand holding a gun from the bushes. At first he assumes that he photographed an attempted murder and excitedly calls his publisher about a new ending for the book. It's apparent that he's far more interested in the photos for his own end. But when he completes the examination of the film he spots the image of something that could be a body but he can never know for sure unless he returns to the site in the park where it might be. When he finds it he immediately recognizes the man with the woman that morning. When he returns to his studio it's been ransacked and all the pictures gone. Who will ever believe him without them? Much has been made about the pantomime tennis match towards the end of the film. A party of revelers that he meets earlier in the film, stops for a tennis game at an outdoor court but the pantomime game is interrupted when the ball is sent sailing out of the court in the direction of the photographer. The players plead for his assistance which he provides when he throws the ball back. In the end he would rather be a part of their phony world than the real world that he has experienced over the past day. Maybe it wasn't so awful as he thought. Blow-Up isn't a detective film by any stretch of the imagination. Good versus evil isn't found in this film. Heroes are also missing. It strikes me far more as a film of discovery and escape from a world that he wants no part of. It's certainly a pensive film and Antonioni's  cinematography was terrific. It's not heavy on dialogue. Maybe that's why it commands our attention. We must look and draw our own conclusions.

After years of obscurity and neglect, "Blow Up" has finally reemerged in pristine condition: thank you, thank you, thank you, Criterion. It's been a long time coming but it was worth the wait.Criterion's restored version of "Blow Up" is everything a fan could ask for, and there is no bigger fan than me.Mercifully, it seems to be complete and intact; my first wish fulfilled.Also, the color rendition and the clarity are top notch, there is little if anything to criticize, I doubt Antonioni would have much to complain about.I do have some minor qualms, I don't like the cover art and I didn't find some of the supplemental material very interesting. Criterion might consider adding a brief bio of the major directors like Antonioni.Buy the blu-ray version, do your eyes a favor.
