The Eclipse (1962) Synopsis

On the verge of ending her tumultuous affair with her writer fiancé Riccardo, young literary translator Vittoria leaves his apartment in Rome after an endless dead-end conversation. Free from an uncomfortable and meaningless relationship, Vittoria soon finds herself falling for the charms of self-absorbed young stockbroker Piero, only to drift into yet another ill-fated romantic affair. In the end, against the backdrop of a nearly-deserted city, the two reluctant lovers will eventually face a bitter, unbearable reality: sometimes, human connection is simply impossible.—Nick Riganas
