Enigmatic films; "My dinner with Andre" "Sunflowers" Films like this..... Just Woah...... Any others ?
Blowup (1966) -- A successful mod photographer in London whose world is bounded by fashion, pop music, marijuana, and easy sex, feels his life is boring and despairing. Then he meets a mysterious beauty, and also notices something frightfully suspicious on one of his photographs of her taken in a park. The fact that he may have photographed a murder does not occur to him until he studies and then blows up his negatives, uncovering details, blowing up smaller and smaller elements, and finally putting the puzzle together.
I liked "Blowout" with John Travolta, Nancy Allen, John Lithgow, it was and incredible film on many levels. The end was a real tear jerker.
For me, this is right up there with Metropolis, The Man from Earth, Primer, Brazil, My Dinner with Andre, and Solaris, as one of the all-time great films. The Lathe of Heaven Oh yes, and enigmatic films: Definitely include Solaris.
I saw this on a plane in 2001 crossing the Atlantic back to my native London. Landed and ordered the DVD (in England).
