Some of the scenes, the revisitings of earlier-seen sites so as (I imagine) to indicate that Vittoria had indeed chosen not to pursue the relationship, I thought were a little bit heavy-handed, actually, though still poignant. On the other hand, the "new" images--the elderly gentleman standing (waiting for a bus?), the people returning home from work and, of course, the concluding streetlight sequence, were just fantastic.Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-1173125410269916542007-03-05T15:10:00.000-05:002007-03-05T15:10:00.000-05:00"L'eclisse" is excellent - I picked it up during t..."L'eclisse" is excellent - I picked it up during the holidays. I hadn't seen it is such a long time, and despite a few obviously period details, it is very relevant and beautiful (esp given our recent market trouble! prescient!). excellent camerawork and the usual poetic vacancy of Vitti. Alain Delon is perfect. I had forgot about the montage-y modern ending, but then remember how it struck the first time I saw the movie (a bit of shock - a bit of poetry) - and am curious how you took it. that's all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
