L'Eclisse (The Eclipse) — directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, 1962 — is a landmark of modernist cinema and the final film in Antonioni's loosely connected "alienation" trilogy (following L'Avventura and La Notte).

: Reviewers at TheaterByte and Blu-ray Authority praised the "extraordinary" black-and-white contrast, which fits the film's moody tone.
: The film is world-renowned for its experimental finale, which abandons the main characters entirely to focus on the silent, desolate locations where they once met—a profound statement on modern alienation.
Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, L’Eclisse concludes Antonioni’s informal "trilogy of alienation" (following L'Avventura and La Notte ). It tells the story of Vittoria (Monica Vitti), a young woman who drifts through life and love with a quiet, restless melancholy. After leaving her older lover, she meets Piero (Alain Delon in his prime), a vibrant, materialistic stockbroker. They engage in a romance, but Antonioni isn't interested in the romance itself—he is interested in the spaces between the lovers.
