Our take

Following L’avventura & La notte, modernity’s greatest critic Michelangelo Antonioni concludes his ‘incommunicability’ trilogy with the foreboding, formidable L’eclisse, and—in turn—one of the most stirring finales in all of cinema. With regular star Monica Vitti, and French icon Alain Delon.
