Love 1962 (Alternative title: eclipse , original title: L'eclisse ) is in black and white twisted Italian - French film drama of Michelangelo Antonioni from the year 1962 .
action
Vittoria works as a translator in Rome . After a night of disagreement, she leaves her long-time friend Riccardo. She meets her mother, who tries her luck on the stock exchange as a speculator. It is there that Vittoria meets the young stockbroker Piero. Piero is just as aimless as Vittoria, has no home of his own, sometimes lives with his parents or stays in the office. He regards trading on the stock exchange as a sport. Slowly and monosyllabically they begin a relationship, believing that their mutual sense of forlornness binds them together. But the feeling that they think they feel for one another is deceptive; their being lost is stronger than their love for one another. They make an appointment, but neither of them shows up at the agreed time. The film ends with a sequence of shots lasting several minutes that show the deserted place of their meeting, while the darkness of the film title (“L'eclisse” = German “darkness”) falls.

Reviews
“Using the example of a Roman girl from a small family between two men, Antonioni takes up the subject of the lack of contact and the inability to love in modern humans. A testimony of an alert mind that ends in skepticism and emptiness, not easy to break down due to the contrapuntal design. The pessimistic, strongly symbolic design makes the desolation tangible, but also difficult to bear. "
"Conclusion: A hopeless and depressive drama from the world of
Interpersonal relationships, a film that is perfect down to the smallest detail, whose protagonists and photography shine continuously. "
Italo-Cinema, Frank Faltin
"It is difficult to explain what is being transported here ineffable
translate it into verbal terms, so that an extremely haunting power of images and movements emerges that distinguish Michelangelo Antonioni as a true talent for directing, who has visualized the darkening of love in an extremely appealing way. "
Cinema time
“Formally very expressive film, whose message of the lack of contact and voidness demands open-minded viewers. For adults with a critical eye an opportunity for reflection and discussion. "
