Abstract
Michelangelo Antonioni’s Magical Realism: Elusive Optics (by Anna Zakrevskaya) is an investigation of Michelangelo Antonioni’s film ‘Blowup’ with regard to its combination of magical, irrational elements and visible signs of recognizable reality. By means of work with frame composition and colour dramatic structure, a special unique “truth of life” is revealed - the change of perspective allows us to see some hidden depths, to reconsider our boundaries of reality, to make our worldview more complex.
