Did he or didn't he? Or better yet -- is he or isn't he? Every
question is valid in Michelangelo Antonioni's original illusory
fable, where hard photographic evidence of a murder dissolves
into existential ambiguity. David Hemmings is the photographer
whose blown-up prints lead him to believe he has accidentally
captured a killing on film. As he pursues the issue, both he
and the viewers become increasingly insecure with their own
perceived "reality." The very last scene poses a profound and
beautiful question about movies, the art of storytelling, and
Life Itself.
