L'eclisse ("The Eclipse") is a 1962 film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. It is considered the last of a trilogy that also comprises L'avventura and La notte.
At dawn on July 10, 1961 a young literary translator, Vittoria (Monica Vitti) breaks off her affair with a writer and begins a summer romance with Piero (Alain Delon), an energetic young stockbroker. They are unable to form a steady relationship and shortly before sunset at 20:00, September 10, 1961 they seemingly fail to meet as agreed on the corner of Viale del Ciclismo and Viale della Tecnica by the construction site of a new apartment building in the Esposizione Universale Roma (EUR), a modern suburban neighbourhood south of Rome where Vittoria lives.
