The 1966 film _Blow-Up_, directed by Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni, is set to be screened at the Théâtre des Variétés in Monaco on May 27, 2025. The film is based on the short story _Las babas del diablo_ by Argentine writer Julio Cortázar, published in 1963. _Blow-Up_ follows a London fashion photographer who inadvertently uncovers potential evidence of a murder while developing photographs taken in a park.
Set against the backdrop of Swinging London in the 1960s, the film delves into themes of perception, image, and reality.
