Blow-Up / Powiekszewie (1966) Poster, Polish, First Polish release 1968


Artist: Waldemar Swierzy (1931-2013)

Waldemar Swierzy created this striking poster replicating the pixels in a photograph in an exaggerate form, which was very clever, as this is a key element in the film.


This cult classic was directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, and is about a fashion photographer, played by David Hemmings, who captures a murder on film whilst taking photos in a deserted park. The film also stars Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, John Castl and Jane Birkin.
