The 1080p AVC encode on this release is stunning. Gianni Di Venanzo’s cinematography is a character in itself, defined by high-contrast lighting and deep shadows.

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.
L'Eclisse serves as the final installment in Antonioni’s unofficial trilogy on modern malaise, following L'Avventura (1960) and La Notte (1961). Starring Monica Vitti and Alain Delon, the film focuses on Vittoria (Vitti), a translator who ends a stifling relationship only to enter an equally hollow romance with a shallow, energetic stockbroker named Piero (Delon).
