The
conclusion of Michelangelo Antonioni's informal trilogy on modern
malaise, L'Eclisse (The Eclipse) tells the story
of a
young woman (Monica Vitti) who leaves one lover (Francisco Rabal) only to
drift into a
relationship with another (Alain Delon). Using the architecture
of Rome as a
backdrop for
the couple's
doomed affair, Antonioni reaches the apotheosis
of his modernist style. returning to
his favorite themes: alienation and the difficulty
of finding connections in
an increasingly mechanized world.
