[Reader-list] [Announcements] screening today

[Ranjani Mazumdar]

Hello Everyone,

The Film Discussion Group will meet this month on the 9th of January, 
(Sunday 6.30 p.m) at Gulmohar, India Habitat Centre for Michelangelo 
Antonio's Blow-Up. The film will be introduced and discussed by filmmaker 
and film scholar Ranjani Mazumdar. The synopsis of the film is given below 
- Looking forward to seeing you all

  Best,

Ira.

Blow-Up is director Michelangelo Antonioni's view of the world of mod 
fashion, and an engaging, provocative murder mystery that examines the 
existential nature of reality through photography. Antonioni's first film 
in English, it quickly became one of the most important films of its 
decade, and a milestone in liberalized attitudes toward film nudity and 
expressions of sexuality. Blow-Up utilizes swinging London of the sixties 
and one of its key symbols, the fashion photographer. Thomas played by 
David Hemmings wanders through a park and takes a picture of a happy 
couple, much to the disgust of the woman, Jane played by Vanessa Redgrave. 
When he goes back to develop the pictures he sees a suggestion of something 
in the photo he never noticed while taking it. Has a crime occurred?
