Oh, please. First off, Tony Richardson and Lindsay Anderson
and just about every other Kitchen Sink creator took more
from the Italian Neo-Realists than film noir. (Even if
Visconti's Osseione did kick off the neo-realist movement.)
Blow Up may not be subtle to you but then maybe the
subtleness escaped you. Antonioni isn't known for brash
Wellesian flourishes
(if that's what you said) and maybe that's what got you down,
bunkie.
