LÂ’eclisse

Antonioni, Michelangelo

This film by Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni completed a trilogy about doomed relationships in the modern world, and won the 1962 Cannes Special Jury Prize. Vittoria (Monica Vitti) is a young woman who breaks up with her lover Ricardo (Francisco Rabal), a bookish intellectual, and instead takes up with brash stockbroker Piero (Alain Delon). However, there are still emotional ties between Vittoria and Ricardo.

The final breakdown of Vittoria’s emotional state is symbolically mirrored by Antonioni’s montage of a deserted, dying city.
