- Title
What a time it was! An essay on Antonioni's L'eclisse.
- Authors
Chion, Michel; Renaud, Alain; Siegel, Don
- Abstract
L'eclisse is one of Michelangelo Antonioni's most important works, but it is also representative of this remarkable epoch in the history of cinema and the world. In a sense, the three films known as ‘the Trilogy’ (this one and the two preceding it) are miraculously in tune with their times, and especially the cinema of their times. They have a common subject or horizon, which is the end of the world – an end of the world perceived as abstract and atomic. The sound in L'eclisse, even when it is predictable and normal and from a clearly visible cause, overflows the reassuring and known image of its source and materializes the invisible.
