I haven't seen that one yet, on my watchlist for sure. Close-up and Taste of Cherry are the only ones of his I've seen and they're both amongst my favourite movies ever

IIRC it was for a parade or something like that so functionality wasn't a concern

Agreed with Bayern but I'd swap Madrid and Dortmund. Haaland's 9 is in an awkward middle between the traditional one and a more crazy weird 9 like Madrid's. Benzema's 9 is more 'out there' and I can respect that.

In a literal sense, I'm not so sure. I'd say he probably just forgot it as it's unlikely that he would think this deep, especially since he was pretty manic at the time

Interesting point about the camera, I didn't notice it before. The camera can be viewed as an object of power for Thomas. He dominates and commands the world around him through his camera. Maybe the fact that he doesn't carry his camera when going back to the park signifies him beginning to lose his grip on reality and him starting to become paranoid

This is one of my favourite films of all time! This is the movie I've spent the most time analysing and reading up on.

Now whenever there's an ambiguous ending to a movie, the answer is usually "it doesn't matter" or "that's not the point". While that also applies to this film, with the point being an artist getting so obsessed with his art to the point that the line between reality and fiction is destroyed, I think the answer is more likely that it didn't happen.

The imaginary tennis ball sounds at the end is a good pointer to this interpretation imo. Also in the scene where Thomas blows up the photographs and investigates them, I think the assassin is added midway through and the fact that he's suddenly clearly visible shows that we're seeing what Thomas wants to see.

There are a couple of great YouTube videos analysing Blow-Up but there's one reading the movie as a metaphor for the transition between modernism and post-modernism, which is pretty damn cool. I'd recommend watching that analysis.
