    Not another one!

    The only film of his I own on DVD is "Blow up", which is a great film. He was a real talent. RIP.

    This is a really crappy week for European cinema. I bet Richard Attenborough's looking around nervously a lot right now.

    Bertollucci's probably very worried, too.

    Seriously, although I must admit that I thought he was already dead, this is sad - 'Blow-Up' is a great - if very weird - film, which is so quintessentially sixties, it hurts. Also, although I've still never seen it in its entirety, 'Zabriskie Point' is another trippy masterpiece, which is very much of its time.

    Rest in peace.
