Another short review that exceeds the word count.

Eclipse today. Alain Delon asked Vitti what was going on at night. Vitti said, "Why do people keep asking questions? There's no need to understand each other as long as you love each other." She looked out the window and added, "Or there's no need to love each other." Antonioni captures this feeling so well. When a woman kisses, her mind is always distracted, and she can't devote herself to it. They are sensitive and understand that love today cannot last forever. Worrying about losing, you can only accept it reluctantly. A man's ending can be tragic and solemn, but a woman's can only be sad, gentle and beautiful... I sometimes think at night: today is over, and I miss it very much. I know that there is only one way to have something that cannot be owned, and that is to never forget it.

L'Eclisse quotes

  • Vittoria: Why do we ask so many questions? Two people shouldn't know each other too well if they want to fall in love. But, then, maybe they shouldn't fall in love at all.

  • Vittoria: As long as we were in love, we understood each other. There was nothing to understand.
