so julio cortázar wrote las babas del diablo which is a story in which a photographer in paris inadvertently captures... (no spoilers, read it)
antonioni made a movie based on that story but set in london and different characters. some people think it’s a bit of a failure in capturing the swinging 60s london, but i love it. i think you’d get a kick out of it. malcolm mcdowell is great in it and his character was based on a real dude of the times.
de palma as i understand substituted a microphone for the camera, but same basic idea?
