L'Eclisse

1962, Movie, 2h 6min

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.

Sidste del af Antonioni's 'fremmedgørelses-trilogi' (de to andre er "L Avventura" og "La Notte")... virkelig god film, men kræver måske man læser lidt op på den - eerie 1950er eksistentialisme kan virke fjern for mange...

Snyggt men kyligt av Antonioni som man som cineast ”ska tycka om”! Precis som hos Godard blir det torrt intellektuellt utan värme och humor. Nä, tacka vet jag Tati!!!
