    I like it very much. For me, Antonioni's black and white is much more comfortable than color (so the Modern Love trilogy looks good to me). And again...the foot fetish is REAL. The male impotence is...

    Retrospective rewatch. Will always be at the top of my "Most Fascinating Movies" list. Every second is enough to capture the soul. You won't find such a movie that fits your personal aesthetic perfectly. At the end of the empty scene, I remembered the next time I saw this wonderful film on the big screen. I remembered that my neighbor said that failing to watch Antonioni earlier was the biggest mistake I have ever...

    The director is really a master, and the actress's interpretation is very subtle and in place. For 2 hours, you can't guess this woman. Why is she so hesitant, unhappy, who she is, what job she does, what kind of love she wants, and what prevents her from settling down and down. A few minutes at the end was a magic pen. The newspaper's "Nuclear Race" probably pointed to the theme. Everyone couldn't settle down, and they all lived in the water with small floating wooden blocks, and the bucket...

    The final chapter of Antonioni's "Modern Love Trilogy" won the Grand Prize of the Cannes Jury. ①The weakest narrative, indifferent and alienated "Antonian boredom" diffuses in it. ②The mirror is used to cut off the integrity of the space at the beginning, and the bone tension appears in the silence. ③It ends with a 5-minute empty shot montage in which the protagonist is absent, poetically blurred. ④The hustle and silence of the stock exchange, the African indigenous dancing and revelry, the...

    It’s a good shot, but it's not recommended. The last ten minutes are worth seeing. Don’t think too much about the story, the audience is not obliged to catch the hidden hint of the...

    I think it is the best one in the trilogy! The opening scene was inhaled immediately, and the sense of alienation was strong. The indoor scheduling already showed Antonioni’s strong author consciousness. You can almost see the master standing behind the camera to dominate everything. The power of silence reflects the weakness of speech. The scene of noisy and cumbersome exchanges is on the contrary. The most meaningless event at the end seems to have been called by the doomsday, from deep...

    I still like the first scene the most, and I seem to be a little sorry for Alain Delon, haha. It is also a sense of alienation, love is often only a minute of heat, and there is nothing left after the heat is over. See you at 8 o'clock after the lingering, a long period of empty shots represents the passage of time, but in the end there are no two people. ....

    Space replaces the narrative and expressive functions of the characters, through different objects, observing the characters from different spatial angles, the alienation and confusion that cannot be shaken off. In the final empty shots from different angles [compared with the vocals of the exchange scene], the characters disappear completely, the space becomes the absolute protagonist, the estrangement continues, and time is eternal. The photography is really wonderful, and the film is only in...

    The emotional sadness of modern human beings is just like the rapid changes in the market area of ​​the exchange. Just a few numbers can change the reality in front of them. Some people become wealthy overnight. Only through the glass can men and women kiss lightly and passionately. Eros, gathering and separation, always worrying about falling into too much and losing oneself. Perhaps the most irresistible thing in a relationship between the sexes is not love or...

L'Eclisse quotes

  • Marta: The six million Negroes want to throw out the 60,000 whites. We're lucky they're still in trees and have barely lost their tails or they'd have already thrown us out.

    Anita: About time, too.

    Marta: I'll just say one thing. There are about ten leaders who've studied at Oxford. The others are all monkeys - six million monkeys.

    Vittoria: But if you like it there, they must be charming monkeys.

  • Woman at the Borsa: Got any tips?

    Vittoria's Mother: Yeah, but I keep them to myself.

    [Talking to herself]

    Vittoria's Mother: She's a jinx. Worse than a rattlesnake.
