The culminating installment of the trilogy begun by L’avventura and La notte, L’eclisse finds Monica Vitti once again teaming up with Antonioni for arguably his most audacious film to date. Vitti stars as a translator named Vittoria who, following an apparently sleepless night, breaks up with her boyfriend and begins wandering the streets of Rome; she’ll soon make her way over to the Roman Stock Exchange, where she meets her mother’s broker, Piero (Alain Delon), inaugurating an eminently modern, curiously cool courtship that culminates in one of cinema’s all-time great endings. L’eclisse endures as one of Antonioni’s most open and slipperiest works, a film that speaks cryptically yet unforgettably about love amid modernity.
