content: L'Eclisse is shot in long takes in black/white. The picture and transfer is unearthly, it almost looks hyperreal! I find the visuals of L'Eclisse more interesting than the narrative (at least for now, I will re-watch it later). We follow Monica Vitti and Alain Delon in their attempt for a love affair. We also get some lively scenes from the stock exchange in Rome which are very exciting. The pace of the film is slow with long takes and not much dialogue - if you want action and a clear plot and message this is not for you! What L'Eclisse is really about can of course be discussed: is it about hopeless love, about alienation in modern society, or about the problems of human communication and contact, and so on? The ending is open for many interpretations. Maybe it is simply about beautiful images, about how beautiful the world can seem like in cinema?
