The film"s page
In the suburbs of Rome, the translator Vittoria breaks her engagement with her boyfriend, the writer Ricardo, after a troubled night. Vittoria goes downtown to meet her mother, who is addicted to the stock market, and she meets the broker Piero on a day of crash. The materialist Piero and the absent Vittoria begin a monosyllabic relationship.

about L'Eclisse
of Michelangelo AntonioniWhat I find striking is how the film explores the formal possibilities of cinema. Antonioni increases the possibility of cinema.
