What I’m Watching – ‘Blow Up’ Dir. Michelangelo Antonioni 1966

From an article by Roger Ebert:

Quote of the Day – March 17 2016

“I’m convinced we all are voyeurs. It’s part of the detective thing. We want to know secrets and we want to know what goes on behind those windows. And not in a way that we would use to hurt anyone. There’s an entertainment value to it, but at the same time we want to know: […]
