1961ref. 167658N.p.: N.p. 1961. Five vintage borderless reference photographs from the 1961 film including one oversize photograph showing director Michelangelo Antonioni and a camera crew on the set. French and numeric annotations in manuscript ink and pencil on the versos. The second film in Antonioni's trilogy that begins with "L'Avventura" 1960 and ends with "L'Eclisse" 1962. Probably no one has ever said it better than Bosley Crowther who reviewed the film for the New York Times in 1961: "Too sensitive and subtle for apt description are Antonioni's pictorial fashionings of a social atmosphere a rarefied intellectual climate a psychologically stultifying milieu-and his haunting evocations within them of individual symbolisms and displays of mental and emotional aberrations. Even boredom is made interesting. There is for instance a sequence in which a sudden downpour turns a listless garden party into a riot of foolish revelry exposing the lack of stimulation before nature takes a flagellating hand. Or there's a shot of the crumpled wife leaning against a glass wall looking out into the rain that tells in a flash of all her ennui desolation and despair." Set and shot on location in Milan.

Eight photographs with stamps of photographers Leo Mirkine Prisco de Majo and Daniel Angeli four two and two photographs respectively on the verso. The archive shows three distinct events during the festival as well as other candid and posed images of Schneider. These include the premiere of the film a press conference and a party on a boat. Numerous photographs also feature Antonioni and co-star Jenny Runacre.

Other photographs show Schneider with Bernardo Bertolucci who had directed her to instant stardom three years earlier in "Last Tango in Paris" as well as a single photograph of Schneider with Dustin Hoffman starring in the also Palme d'Or nominated "Lenny" directed by Bob Fosse. Also included in the archive are four large negatives of photographs from the archive a strip of five negatives of a beach and two strips of color negatives containing four and five images respectively as well as three large negative of what appears to be a photoshoot of Schneider at the beach.

Fellini had to re-shoot parts of this movie including the elaborate Venice carnival scene when approximately seventy reels of film-including the first three weeks of shooting-were stolen at the Technicolor labs of Tiburtino Rome on August 27 1975. Also stolen were portions of Pasolini's "Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom" and Damiano Damiani's Euro Western "A Genius Two Partners and a Dupe." 11.5 x 7.75 inches. Fine.

1966ref. 196421966. Antonioni Michelangelo director. Blow-Up 1966 examines perception photography and uncertainty within the cultural landscape of 1960s London placing a fashion photographer at the center of a narrative involving a possible murder captured unintentionally on film. As Antonioni's first English-language production the film situates itself within the visual and social environment of the London "mod" scene integrating fashion music and youth culture into its structure. Its treatment of sexuality and ambiguity contributed to the erosion of the Hollywood Production Code and preceded the establishment of the Motion Picture Association of America rating system marking the film as part of a broader shift in cinematic regulation and content standards. Awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival the film occupies a central place in discussions of postwar European art cinema and the changing boundaries of representation. Blow-Up. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer: United States 1966. Archive of six original promotional photographs issued for theatrical display ranging in size from approximately 6.5 x 8 to 8.75 x 11 inches including three color and three black and white prints. Images depict scenes from the film including interactions between Vanessa Redgrave and David Hemmings and views of Hemmings' Rolls-Royce emphasizing both character dynamics and the material culture of the London setting. Black and white photographs include production and photography information on the verso while color prints feature the film title actor names and MGM logo along the lower margin. Produced during a period of rapid transformation in film aesthetics and censorship standards Blow-Up aligns with broader developments in 1960s cinema that prioritized ambiguity visual experimentation and contemporary urban life. Its focus on the act of looking and the instability of photographic evidence reflects wider cultural concerns with media surveillance and reality during the decade. Promotional materials such as these photographs document how studios presented avant-garde narrative and stylistic elements to mainstream audiences bridging commercial exhibition and art cinema discourse. Minor handling wear with one photograph showing faint pinholes; overall very good to excellent condition. unknown books
