L’ECLISSE (Eclipse)
1962, Italy / France, 126 min, Drama / Romance, BR
Director: Michelangelo Antonioni
Stars: Monica Vitti, Alain Delon, Francisco Rabal
The concluding chapter of Michelangelo Antonioni’s informal trilogy on contemporary malaise (following L’avventura and La notte), L’eclisse tells the story of a young woman (Monica Vitti) who leaves one lover (Francisco Rabal) and drifts into a relationship with another (Alain Delon). Using the architecture of Rome as a backdrop for the doomed affair, Antonioni achieves the apotheosis of his style in this return to the theme that preoccupied him the most: the difficulty of connection in an alienating modern world.
