“Lu0026#39;ECLISSE is not everybodyu0026#39;s cup of tea. It is so slow that to continue watching it may sometimes require a conscious strain of will. But it is a rewarding experience: Lu0026#39;ECLISSE is probably the best of all unhurried movies. It is so desperately tender; Alain Delon and Monica Vitti are so young and beautiful, and at the same time – so precise in their naiveté; the camera shots are so long and ambiguous, so empty of words. If there ever was a movie that truthfully represents the playful and sad uncertainty of being in love, then this must be it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLu0026#39;ECLISSE is sure to break your heart… or mend it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe ending is as mysterious as Godu0026#39;s ways and if it wasnu0026#39;t for the music to bring me down to earth I may have thought that I had died.”
