The more I watch and return to Michelangelo Antonioni, the less concerned I am with "solving" his elliptical form and the more I'm content simply to bask in it.
L'Eclisse rates with
Red Desert and
The Passenger as one of the directors most beautiful, enrapturing works, along with one of the most unsettling. Criterion give their old DVD a solid upgrade to Blu-Ray, though I do hope they append a few more of the directors early and late shorts to some future release, maybe their inevitable upgrade of
L'Avventura. Regardless, this is a fine release, and you can read my full thoughts on the film and its Blu-Ray at
Slant.
