Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A 'Must-Go-And-See-' movie in its day!
Went to the pictures to see this one, the Regent Cinema in Poole, long gone now, has the Dolphin Shopping Centre built on where it was.
Of course, The Yardbirds were my main attraction for going to see the film, as was the case for many of my peers. Since then we have heard The Who were originally the first choice for the featured band, but they were touring and unable, hence Jeff Beck's rather uncharacteristic guitar-smashing routine, which needed to be done to fit in with the plot, (but note ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It was a time when all buses were red in London
A strange film by Michelangelo Antonioni. It is a whole period of our life that is coming back. 1966. They dressed bizarre in those days. They behave slightly crazy too. The world was entering the new phase or virtuality. The cold war was a virtual war secreting a virtual peace. The long dreamed for well-off comfort was coming up for the few, the happy few who could follow a track that took them away from the factories. Cars were introducing virtual independence. The new generation of records and turntables ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - an aphrodisiac vision by antonioni
antoni is for cinema what DALI is to art -reinventing a new style without effort in a spontaneous creative burst,every frame is sparse ,laconic yet as meticulously detailed as a da vinci painting,its minimalism becomes its way to acess it's targeted audience,

just as the vitriolic character of the obsessive photographer suffocates on his cannabis joints ,

the alleged comitted crime is an ilusion or just an allusion ,the hidden corpse becomes the silent mock tennis ball game with harlequins ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - One up for Blow Up
Reading the various reviews of Blow Up, some for, some against, prompted me to at least add my tuppence worth on a film I've long liked and would recommend as being at least as honest a representation on 60's London as was made at that time.
The film's music was very hip and the director deserves real credit in getting a then little known(at least in the U.K.)Herbie Hancock and luminaries to write the soundtrack after apparently failing to find anybody here able to handle what was required (although I'm sure Tubby ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A bona fide masterpiece, pretentious or not
This is still one of the most mesmerising films I've ever seen and one of those I rarely get tired of rewatching. It IS pretentious and arty, there's no getting away from it, but the brilliance of its premise, its theme, the unresolved mystery, but most of all its direction and photography are things that burn this brilliant movie into the mind. It was of course manipulating its audience at the time of its release and fully exploited the swinging London scene, but it really does have the feel of its hedonistic age about ... Read More
