Using magnificent shots of Rome and its 1950s suburbs initially developed for the Esposizione Universale di Roma (EUR) as a backdrop for a couple's doomed affair, L'eclisse completes Michaelangelo Antonioni's film trilogy (started with L' Avventura and La Notte) reaching the apotheosis of his modernist style, returning to his favourite themes: individual and societal alienation and the difficulty of finding connections in an increasingly mechanized world.
