L'eclisse (English translation: The Eclipse, might also be untranslated) is a 1962 romance drama film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. The movie is set in Rome in the summer and autumn of 1961. Main roles are performed by Monica Vitti and Alain Delon. It was awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival.Also starring is Lilla Brignone as Vittoria's mother and Francisco Rabal as her former fiancé Riccardo.This was the third in the informal trilogy of alienation, with its predecessors being L'Avventura and La notte. L'eclisse also was Antonioni's final black-and-white film. Sometimes Antonioni's subsequent film, Il deserto rosso, is included in this series too, to make it a tetralogy.Antonioni wrote the script in collaboration with Tonino Guerra and two other writers. Gianni di Venanzo was the cinematographer for the fifth and the last time in Antonioni films.

 L'eclisse / int_2292c854
comment
Between My Legs: An interesting example. Vittoria in one scene is watched by the camera from the Dutch angle with the statue on the pedestal in the foreground. First it is not this trope but then Vittoria makes several steps and takes a position such that for a moment her head and upper torso are seen above the pedestal between the legs of the monument. Camera promptly cuts to a reverse angle with the heroine's head now in the foreground placed between the legs of the statue.

Frameup A pretty slight, somewhat slapstick example. Vittoria whistles loudly and hides bedind the tree. A bicycle rider turns in her direction and sees only Piero who denies that he has anything to do with the whistle. This scene is then continued by Marta's shooting of the ballon, together they constitute a Mood Whiplash.

Ghost Town
 L'eclisse / int_2dc3e97c
comment
Ghost Town: A necessarily weak example but it is still noteworthy that this trope can be applied to a film nearly entirely set in Rome which is a very big city. Both in the opening scene and in the ending scene the people on the street are very few. In the beginning after Vittoria and Piero leave her house some time passes before they see a man (a boy). Justified because the scene takes place in the early morning. In the long final scene some people are present but many shots show vacant roads without human presence.

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism
 L'eclisse / int_372bc105
comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: The general mood of the film is pretty cynical when it is not reflective. Not much idealism throughout though. Piero is both feet on the cynical side though even he has his moments with Vittoria. Vittoria although trying to resist the overbearing cynicism at times gives in too. when she says that at time it is all equal to her whether to hold a thread and a needle, a book or a man in her hands.

Stalker Without a Crush: Riccardo probably acts as such when after the breakup he once stalks Vittoria, coming under her window, throwing pebbles and trying to break into the building where she lives. Vittoria hides behind the drapes trying not to be seen. He fails to get in contact with her and never appears in the movie again. YMMV as to whether he has a crush on Vittoria, all signs would say that he does except that he totally disappears from the film after his stalking scene.

Scenery Porn: The film is shot extensively in Rome and it is generally considered by cinephiles to be one of the few movies to really show the weirdness of Modern Rome rather than simply focus on the touristy eternal city (it's often compared to La Dolce Vita which was the defining film of Rome in that era). Antonioni has a lot of fun showing the Borsa, Rome's stock exchange which is indeed located in an Ancient Roman temple, showing how the ancient and modern, sacred and profane have joined together. Likewise, the opening focuses on the EUR tower, one of Mussolini's old projects.

comment
Invisible Parents: Not the strongest example of this trope. Still Piero who says that he has his own appartment invited Vttoria to a supposedly much posher appartment of his parents. It does not appear to be lived in by anyone (but Piero). Of course the sole scene happens in this appartment and it is implied that they left for some time. Later Piero invites Vittoria to the appartment where the office of his brokerage firm is located.

comment
Politically Incorrect Hero: Monica Vitti's Vittoria puts on a Blackface, and Marta who lived in Kenya voices racist opinions that are unacceptable by today's standards, and even by the standards of that time. Considering that Antonioni was a figure in the European Left, it is likely that he is invoking this trope and intending it to see it as an expression of the racism of the middle-class of that era.

Time Skip: The editing of the scenes of the romance between Piero and Vittoria implies that some adjacent scenes are separated by days or weeks. Also Vacation Episode in Verona is cut off abruptly and the second La Borsa scene begins with an indefinite number of days (though probably not weelks) between them. Two short ones are in the scene of the Vittoria's African dance performance. The scenes before and after when she puts on and removes the make-up and constume are elided. She first appears after cut already in blackface and brandishing a spear. Then cut and she is again in her plain clothes.

Only One Name: For everyone else apart from Vittoria's mother who has none. No surnames are mentioned except for the offscreen characters. A boss on the contrary has a surname - Ercoli but no name.

Stealth Hi/Bye: Piero does the stealth bye. Vittoria is going away from him in the long shot while he remains on the spot. Then cue her medium shot from the back as she walks on. When she turns around to look at Piero he is nowhere to be seen. Later Piero appears out of thin air when a horse-drawn carriage passes near Vittoria on their dating spot. Both the heroine and the camera follow it by a pan which reveals Piero already approaching Vittoria.

Deuteragonist: Piero is both far behind Vittoria and far ahead of anyone else in regard to his screentime. He is much less present in the first half movie than it would appear in the retrospect, until 50 minutes into the movie he is actually only seen in the first stock exchange scene (admittedly a pretty long one). He rebounds in the second half, starting with the second stock exchange scene at 50 minutes into the film. He is on par with Vittoria throughout the third act where he appears as often as his counterpart. Overall his arc is very significant but he is definitely the second important character even though Alain Delon actually received the top billing.

Sore Loser: Vittoria's mother takes her loss of 10 million lire in a most unpleasant way. She starts to accuse the emplyees of La Borsa and even criticises the capitalism with which she previously is totally content. Lampshaded by Vittoria who notes that her mother will not draw flowers as opposed to the mans who loses 50 million lire. Subverted in the case of an anonymous investor who loses 50 million lire in a crash and remains visibly quiet, merely ordering a tranquilizer in a drugstore and drinking it with water. Later he draws flowers on a rag of paper.

Silence Is Golden: The film opens with an extended silent sequence in Vittoria's apartment with her current boyfriend and some time passes before they start to speak. Itis implied that what we are seeing is the aftermath of a bitter lover's quarrel leading to the breakup of their relationship on very bad terms. And of course the finale, an extended 10 minutes sequence without dialogues, where the only sound is ambient background noises, car noises, traffic and finally the hum of a street-light in close-up, and so on.

Gainax Ending
 L'eclisse / int_82accf22

Gainax Ending: One of film history's famous, and the first in Antonioni's career. Much of the film tracks the romance of Piero and Vittoria who keep meeting in a particular place, and near the end, they set up a promise to meet again there for a date. The final sequence is a ten minute sequence which shows the same setting without the characters, with random shots of location, buildings, passer by and bystanders moving around without anyone there to give it meaning. It's assumed that the couple break up and don't meet up again, since the scenes before show them perturbed and worried about the relationship, but the final scene is clearly about something more than the relationship, and it's not clear what it is.

Three-Act Structure
 L'eclisse / int_8386a7a
comment
Three Act Structure: The 2-hour film can be pretty evenly divided into three acts 40 minutes each. The first act deals with Vittoria's everyday life and her break-up with Riccardo. Piero is only shown in the first stock exchange scene. Riccardo appears the second and the last time onsceen 40 minutes into the movie, after that he is put on the bus. The second act gradually shifts attention to Piero, in its second half of the second act he even has several scenes of his own. The third act is completely separate in that it is totally dedicated to the romance between two main characters. After 1 hour 20 minute mark only one other character episodically appears - Marta who shoots the balloon at the bizarre request of Vittoria. The epilogue is a beast of its own - 10 minutes of the silent hallucinatory cinema.

Capitalism Is Bad: The stock market scene is drawn in really broad comedy, unusually so by Antonioni's standards. The whole visuals of the Roman Borsa (which really is located in a real-life Roman Temple) and the fact that Vittoria's mother pins a lot of her hopes in the stocks she has invested, to the point of even crossing there, more or less shows that money and the pursuit of it is becoming the new religion.

Pop-Star Composer: Mina who was a pop star wildly popular at the time wrote the music for opening credits song L'eclisse Twist. The lyrics were written by Antonioni himself. The song L'eclisse Twist sounds during the opening credits and once later as Vittoria is alone in the room of the Piero's appartment. It might be a foreshadowing of their subsequent sex which ensues pretty soon.

Betty and Veronica: A less obvious example. The blond Vittoria is Betty while an episodic character appearing onscreen in one scene, a girl, played by actress who remained uncredited, is actually Veronica. Stressed by the fact that she is now brunette having dyed her hair and thus changing her previous blond color. Piero sees her new look, disapproves of it and immediately stops the date going for Vittoria in his car.

The problem is that Marta shoots from the balcony of a flat in a three-storey house in the the city. No-one cares except for Vittoria and Piero who cheer her marksmanship. Justified as to the marksmanship because Marta lived almost her entire life in Kenya where she happened to hunt various animals when it was necessary to save the crops.

Not Now, Kiddo: Having earned a round sum in a successful trading session Vittoria's mother doesn't pay attention to her daughter words. In fact Vittoria wants to let her mother know that she has broken with Ricardo. Minute later, when mother asks her whether she eats together with Ricardo, Vittoria confirms.

First Kiss: Lampshaded for Vittoria and Piero. When they are in the very middle of the zebra crossing on an empty street he says that he will kiss her when they reach the opposite site. They proceed through the crossing markedly slowly. When they are there Piero kisses Vittoria without much energy.

Mood Whiplash
 L'eclisse / int_a4c37cbe
comment
Mood Whiplash: A very pronounced example in the last meeting of Vittoria and Piero in his office which is oddly completely at their disposal at day. They are energetically laughing and joking when a timer rings. Their mood suddenly and completely sours, they become gloomy and aloof, Vittoria wants to leave. Vittoria and Piero follow towards the door and after the final make-out she exits the office. Also the other scene contains the double example. Vttoria first whistles behind the back of the starting cyclist and hides behind the tree making it look like Piero whistled for the cyclist who turns and notices only him. Then Vittoria asks Marta to bring a rifle, lets go a balloon and is very enthusiastic when Marta hits it. Subsequetly the two characters become much sombrer.

Red Scare: After the stock market crash Vittoria's mother who feels completely defeated blames... the socialists. While she doesn't mention communists, the trope still applies because socialists are also leftists and their official color in Italy is also red. Actually this is Truth in Television as socialists at that time were indeed publicly accused of intervention in the operation of La Borsa which resulted in the crash.

Halfway Plot Switch
 L'eclisse / int_ace24b2c

Halfway Plot Switch In fact the romance between Piero and Vittoria starts 1 hour into the film. In the first hour they talk very rarely. The film in the first half works as a psychological drama depicting a 60's young urban heroine in her everyday life. After 1:20 the rest of the characters disappear completely with one minor and rather outlandish exception of Marta who shoots the balloon. The third act is entirely dedicated to the romance.

My Beloved Smother: Vittoria's mom is a somewhat mild example in film. When she learns that Vittoria and Riccardo are no more a couple she repeatedly reproaches Vittoria and insistently says that Riccardo was a magnificent match for her. However she is nowhere close to coercing her adult and independent daughter to revise her decision.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Riccardo. He and Vittoria separate then he appears in one scene to somewhat insistently stalk her even shaking the door into her appartment block. This scene ends at about 40 minutes into the movie (the end of the first act). He is never seen again. To some extent every other character after 1 hour 20 minutes into the film (that is, after the end of the second act of the 2-hour film). After that the only characters are Vittoria and Piero with a minor episode of Marta shooting a balloon. Justified in that other characters do not have any arcs of significance that remain unresolved. Vittoria's mother conflict is pretty obvious and rather secondary for the movie.

Also in the last sequence a man and later a woman who pass near the meeting place of Vittoria and Piero seem to resemble them when shown from the back. This trope is much less relevant in the case of a man who hardly can be taken for Alain Delon. The female extra's hair on the contrary looks like Vitti's, it is only when she turns to the camera that one discovers that it is a different person. It is possible that both time the viewer is shown the same Doppelgänger of Vittoria.

They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich: Played with. In the scene which is fairly short cut Piero first takes a croissant in the cafe and bites into into by the cafe counter, then in the other shot speaking on the phone bites it once again holding it in his right hand. Subsequently Piero returns to the counter and his right hand at first is below camera then he makes a swift movement of his right hand dropping something the viewer cannot see into the trash bin. If it were the rest of the croissant he would have wasted at least its half. If not the trop is reinforced.

A Call-Back of sorts to the previous appearance of this trop.

Star-Crossed Lovers: Vittoria and Piero, not due to any outside factor but merely because of their apathy and urban malaise.

Blackface: Vittoria in one scene puts on exactly that, playing an African tribal warrior brandishing a spear. Later Vittoria meets two blacks in a cafe during her trip to Verona.

I'm Not Hungry: Exactly what Vittoria says to Riccardo when he in the end of the first sequence remarks that an outlet is open and they can have breakfast. Actually the venue is shown from a fairly long distance and it is not clear why Riccardo decides that it is open so early in the morning.

Jerkass: Piero during a chance meeting with his ex. Also while talking to his clients whose stocks lost the bulk of their value. In that case he tries to justify himself, reminding clients how much money they were making during the rally because of his recommendations only to spend it thoughtlessly instead of saving.

comment
Salt Solution: Vittoria's mother pours some salt under her feet and stamps on it. She believes it will bring her luck in the stock trade. Ironically she does it in the second La Borsa scene and the crash follows immediately. Downplayed by the fact that later in the moment of crash she crosses herself.

Hollywood Pudgy: Anita once complains that she is putting on weight while in fact the actress does not look fat at all. This phrase is probably meant to lampshade how lean Vittoria is as Anita then notices that her friend always manages to remain slim and even has lost a bit.

Pet the Dog
 L'eclisse / int_ff7f34c5
comment
Pet the Dog: in one of the weirder examples in the ending of the first sequence Riccardo strokes a passing boy's head without apparent reason. Interestingly the boy is the first character to appear in the film apart from Vittoria and Riccardo, until then they were the only two people in the street. (Justified because the action of the scene is set in the very early morning). Is used literally when Vittoria pets a poodle. Also Piero's attitude to Vittoria's mother might be considered as such, he treats her uncharacteristically gently. Of course she has a daughter he is clearly interested in.
