Great Short Stories on Screen

Blow-Up

a 1966 adaptation of a Julio Cortazar short story

Thomas (David Hemmings) is a London photographer who spends his time photographing fashion models. But one day he thinks he may have photographed something far more sinister: a murder. After taking pictures in the park, Thomas is horrified to find an ambiguous image lurking on the edge of the frame, which could be a shadow, but looks like a gun. The only thing clear is that the woman (Vanessa Redgrave) in the photo has appeared at his studio -- and wants the pictures he took.

Chips, soda, and water will be provided. Film begins promptly at 3pm. The library's Great Short Stories discussion group will be talking about the short story, "The Blow-Up" by Julio Cortazar, on Monday, April 14 at 6:30pm, join us! For more information, contact Holley at 205-445-1117 or hwesley@oneallibrary.org.
