The original film clip of the Michelangelo Antonioni movie Blow-Up starring Vanessa Redgrave and David Hemmings pictured above. It was a fascinating film full of symbolism and "deeper" meanings. I loved it. It's coarse and vulgar at times but not repeatedly or for shock value. Taking place in London and actually featuring a concert with the Yardbirds in one scene, it spoke of times where individuals reached for more meaning in their lives but were stymied to find a sure reality. Searching for truth on their own terms produced nothing, but merging with a surreal landscape left them with relentless emptiness. Filmed in 1966.
Father, we were desperate for you then just as we are now. You are our only hope. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
