L'Eclisse Ratings & Reviews
- makdelart5d agoThe most challenging film in Antonioni’s trilogy, but (perhaps) the most compelling and (certainly) the most symbolic.
- DropsyRocioJune 22, 2025This film is a beautiful portrait of solitude. Welcome to a modern world. I think this film proves that the phone destroyed the last bit of beauty we had. I recommend this film to my female friends, but also to the other friends.
- Charles LondonFebruary 25, 2025The story within the pictures isn't as much the story as the pictures telling it. Michelangelo Antonioni uses his camera to create a visual masterpiece in exquisite black-and-white, with his celluloid canvas highlighted by beautiful lead actors in all of their photogenic glory. A chatty picture this is not. It's the lens that does most of the talking.
