There are enough intentional or unintentional depictions of the interior and exterior of the building in this film to impress me, such as the street lights that appear many times, the close-up of the corners of the building, and the simple and beautiful interior wallpapers. uniquely sensitive. From beginning to end, there are few close-ups of people's faces, and most of them are medium shots. They deliberately express the spatial relationship between people and people and between people and scenery. Almost every shot gives the surrounding environment an opportunity to 'express itself', as if this is not just a film about human relationships, the surrounding buildings, cars, street lights, trees, signal towers. . . Wait, the shots given by Antonioni again and again seem to be part of the story, and there are more empty shots in the back of the film. In fact, this film is not intended to tell any complicated stories. My understanding is to express infinite space. Time and increasingly complex interpersonal relationships are slowly consuming people.

    I think Alandron is the most perfect actor since the birth of the film. His non-acting is a perfect interpretation of the role, the ultimate in static braking. This film succeeded in dissolving the lingering middle-class pretense of Antonioni's film because of his existence. He used a fresh and vain attitude to dilute the sweet and thick emotions in the image, and made Monica who exudes the taste of a bourgeois lady. Vitilla is on the track of a rebellious youth film. This is also the only impeccable work by Antonioni, probably because he realized the temperament of Alandron and fully mobilized the imagery to match the aura he brought.

L'Eclisse quotes

  • Vittoria: We spent the whole night talking things over. And for what? I'm so tired and depressed. Disgusted and confused. What can I say? There are times when holding a needle and thread, or a book, or a man - it's all the same.

  • Anita: Don't the hippopatami bother you?
