Blow-Up is an amazing, multi-layered work of cinema that is both a product of it’s time (swinging sixties London) and a defining moment of the era — the closest comparison might be Easy Rider which was filmed only a few years later in the United States. Blow-Up was virtuoso director Michelangelo Antonioni’s first english language film and, despite the critical praise of his early filmography, it was also his only large commercial hit. This film is as influential today as when it was made and remains one of the most collectible titles from the 1960s.
This huge, country-of-origin Italian poster is quite rare and is one of the few true first printings for this hit film. In Italy, Blow-Up was released into theaters with three identical posters with different background colors — red, yellow, and green. The film ended up a box office smash and new, multi-colored posters were printed for the film. These later printings are considered first release, but not first printing. The red 4-foglio presented here is a true first printing and is still highly sought after by collectors looking to make an outsized impact on their walls.
