Blow-up — Michelangelo Antonioni, 1967, first Italian edition

The film that made enlargement a philosophical act. Published by Einaudi the same year as the release, this scarce 1967 hardcover first edition brings together the screenplay and an extensive gallery of stills from Blow-Up, including colour images. Compact in format yet visually rich, it captures the charged atmosphere of Antonioni’s London—where photography becomes suspicion and desire. A delicate and increasingly rare object: cinema fixed on paper at the moment of its cultural detonation.
