L'Eclisse - Michelangelo Antonioni (1962)


Wikipedia - "L'Eclisse (English: "Eclipse") is a 1962 Italian drama film written and directed by Michelangelo Antonioni and starring Alain Delon and Monica Vitti. Filmed on location in Rome and Verona, L'Eclisse is about a young woman who breaks up with an older lover and then has an affair with a confident young stockbroker whose materialistic nature eventually undermines their relationship. The film is considered the last part of a trilogy, and is preceded by L'Avventura (1960) and La Notte (1961). ... While Antonioni's earlier film L'Avventura had been derided upon its 1960 premiere, it was quickly reevaluated to the extent that L'Eclisse became 'the most eagerly awaited film of the 1962 Cannes Film Festival'; critics had begun to believe that Antonioni's approach 'was perhaps one way forward for an artform that was in danger of endlessly repeating itself.' ..."
