Probably, this is one of the most difficult movies to analyze.

The filmmaker Antonioni succeed in depicting the extent of a woman fo find an equilibrium in relationships with people and the environment in which she lives.

“The Eclipse” get the viewer “lost” in a material world, where objects, inners and streets seem to have a parallel life; people seem to get trapped in this static world where nothing happens except an experience of awareness, awareness of the world and of the self in transaction with the world.
