FILM ARCHIVES Blow Out
by J. Hoberman
Dir. Brian De Palma (1981).
DePalma’s masterpiece is the last ’60s movie and the most brilliantly tawdry of Hollywood’s paranoia cycle—a decomposed, conspiratorial remake of Antonioni’s Blow-up, starring reheated John Travolta in his strongest role up until Pulp Fiction.
