Review of L'Eclisse (1962) by Shane R — 29 May 2009
The opening and closing sequences of this film are outstanding, but as has been true with other of Antonioni's films, I am left mostly cold by the harsh and alienated modern world he sees. However, the craft and expertise with which he carries out his vision is undeniable.
The beauty of the images, the locations, and of Monica Vitti constantly invite the eye. The dark closing sequence, absent the film's central characters, stands as a classic indictment against the modern world.
