Blowup (Blow-Up) is a 1966 British-Italian film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, that director's first English language film. It tells the story of a photographer's accidental and incidental involvement with a murder. The film was inspired by the 1959 short story Las babas del diablo (i.e. The devil's drool/drivel) by Argentinian writer Julio Cort zar, and by the work, habits, and mannerisms of Swinging London photographer David Bailey. The film wasscored by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, although the music is source music as it is a recording played by the main character. Nominated for several awards at the Cannes Film Festival, Blowup won the Grand Prix. Blowup stars David Hemmings, Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, John Castle, Jane Birkin and Gillian Hills. 1960's supermodel Veruschka is also credited, with a memorable scene considered by Premiere Magazine as the sexiest cinematic moment in history. The screenplay was written by Antonioni andTonino Guerra, with the English dialogue being written by British playwright Edward Bond.
