L'eclisse
Michelangelo Antonioni / IT, FR, 1962 / 126 min.
Aliain Delon plays young, smartly besuited Milanese stock exchange man Piero. He becomes the new boyfriend of Vittoria (Monica Vitti), who he approaches coolly. This film inspired Ivo van Hove to create the play Antonioni Project: see the exhibition All About Theatre About Film.
Vittoria has cast off her jealous lover; but materialistic Piero is equally unable to fulfil the emotionally withdrawn Vittoria’s need for a stable relationship.
