OK, I may have had an irrational love for the 1966 Michelangelo Antonioni film Blow-Up [1] (starring Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, and David Hemmings) since I was in the womb, but I am not alone in my love for the mod Brit film's killer poster. It often tops lists of the world's greatest and most iconic posters (see here [2] and here [3]), written by cinephiles and design fiends alike, and for good reason.
The original 1966 Italian design [4] is the one most fawned over, but there are actually several variations, almost all featuring a sexy model and her photographer. I for one have a soft spot for the French poster, designed by Georges Kerfyser, which is a variation of the original by its Southeastern neighbor. The design is confrontational, racy, and mod in a kitschy magenta and blue color scheme; what could be better? Those adjectives sound so tawdry, but I'd honestly kill to hang the eye-catcher in my house: if only it didn't sell for 450 smackers [5]. If you haven't seen the film, Netflix it, and maybe then you'll begin to understand where I'm coming from.
