Blow Out

Brian De Palma (director, screenwriter)
John Travolta, Nancy Allen, John Lithgow, Dennis Franz (starring)

US: Filmways, 1981. Vintage borderless color photograph from the 1981 film. Director Brian De Palma and Nancy Allen confer on the set, with the stage setup for the film's wild parade sequence ending clearly in the background.

Conceptual remake of Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film "Blow Up," with an audio recording replacing a photograph, early 80s Philadelphia replacing Swinging London, and a tight political thriller plot replacing the looser and less immediate one in the original.

Shot on location in Philadelphia.

7 x 9.5 inches. Fine.

Criterion Collection 562. Grant US. Spicer US Neo-Noir.
