My Films Have Always Had An Element Of Immediate Autobiography, In That I Shoot Any Particular Scene According To The Mood I'm In That Day, According To The Little Daily Experiences I've Had And Am Having - But I Don't Tell What Has Happened To Me.

The Photographer In Blow-up, Who Is Not A Philosopher, Wants To See Things Closer Up. But It So Happens That, By Enlarging Too Far, The Object Itself Decomposes And Disappears. Hence There's A Moment In Which We Grasp Reality, But Then The Moment Passes. This Was In Part The Meaning Of Blow-up.
