Great list here, remember to fake it till you make it y'all!

While you're faking it, why don't you work towards making it by spending a semester or two in any of Loyola's fantastic History of Film, Global Cinema, American Cinema, or Latin American Cinema classes!

ABOUT BLOW UP

Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni’s first English-language production was also his only box office hit, widely considered one of the seminal films of the 1960s. Thomas (David Hemmings) is a nihilistic, wealthy fashion photographer in mod “Swinging London.” Filled with ennui, bored with his “fab” but oddly lifeless existence of casual s*x and drug use, Thomas comes alive when he wanders through a park, stops to take pictures of a couple embracing, and upon developing the images, believes that he has photographed a murder. Pursued by Jane (Vanessa Redgrave), the woman who is in the photos, Thomas pretends to give her the pictures, but in reality, he passes off a different roll of film to her. Thomas returns to the park and discovers that there is, indeed, a dead body lying in the shrubbery: the gray-haired man who was embracing Jane. Has she murdered him, or does Thomas’ photo reveal a man with a gun hiding nearby? Antonioni’s thriller is a puzzling, existential, adroitly assembled masterpiece. (111 minutes)

Huge thank you to Sam Smith for coming out to LOYFS last night and sharing CON VEX and THESE WILD THINGS with us. She spoke about the making of her two films and her post film school experience.

Sam left our members with many words of wisdom last night, but as we approach final projects this semester I hope these inspire you: "if you put your energy and attention into anything you should see it through." - Sam Smith
