Tonight kicked off the opening of the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Antonioni retrospective with his classic 60's flick Blow-Up. Not to be confused with the contemporary classic The Break Up. And while both films are lusciously understated in performance and aesthetic efficacy, the trek to Brooklyn might be worth the shlep. It runs June 7-29, screening twenty films in all. 30 Lafayette Ave. bam.org.
