Italy 126m, B&W
Director: Michelangelo Antonioni; Cast: Monica Vitti, Alain Delon, Francisco Rabal, Louis Seigner
L’Eclisse is a visually impressive film that begins with Vittoria, a young woman who is depressed after her break-up with Riccardo, an older man who she is no longer in love with. Initially finding some comfort among her girlfriends, she eventually strikes up a new relationship with Piero, her mother’s stockbroker, who we are introduced to amid a number of frenzied scenes at the Stock Exchange in Rome. As Vittoria, Monica Vitti is captivating as the emotionally detached young woman who, like Piero, represents a disaffected and lonely generation of young people who are increasingly obsessed with materialism, and simply drifting though their lives (Klaus Ming February 2015).
You more or less echo my opinions, so I cannot say much more than »Bravo bravissimo!«…

It’s an interesting film that I think will get better with future viewings. Monica Vitti’s alluring character is also particularly mesmerizing.
