The Eclipse (1962)

Michaelangelo Antonioni's L'eclisse (Eclipse) is a visually stunning film with a strange, abstract plotline. Monica Vitti stars as Vittoria, a beautiful woman who, in the opening scene of the movie, dumps her boring boyfriend Riccardo (Francisco Rabal). Vittoria's mother (Lilla Brignone) passes her time at the stock exchange, watching the numbers rise and fall as if her whole life depends on the next high or low. In contrast, Vittoria wanders the streets of the city unhindered, dreaming, floating independently and waiting for whatever fate befalls her. She begins an affair with a powerful, handsome, emotionally vacant stockbroker, Piero (Alain Delon). Their relationship is fun, flirtatious, risky, and dangerous all at once--but mostly, it is an expression of true human affection, which the other characters in L'eclisse seem to lack. However, the plot of L'eclisse is hardly Antonioni's focus. »

Birthday Suit: Dolph 'the biggest one' Lundgren

3 November 2009 7:06 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Thought I'd goof around with a little b-day series. In case it's yours! Could be shortlived. Or maybe it'll go on forever. You never know.

Hal Hartley , Paprika Steen and Charles Bronson

Today's Birthdays, November 3rd ...some of them at any rate. For those who are prone to celebrating the lives of the filmic and famous. And if you aren't, you're not having enough fun.

1921 Charles Bronson had a Death Wish, five of them actually, and he had them before "franchise" was a daily spoken word in movie discussions.1930 Lois Smith, sweet character actress, is now 79 years old. I once saw her in a train station. It's true. Weren't you shocked when she died on the first season of True Blood? I sure was.

1931 Monica Vitti, breathtaking Italian goddess

1953 Kate Capshaw aka Mrs. Spielberg. Did she sing or was she dubbed for that awesome "Anything Goes" opening number in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom »

Ingmar and Mike

30 July 2009 11:31 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Two years ago today death came for Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni. Robert here, thinking back on the day when my two favorite living directors both died. Two men who had a huge impression on me. It was as a young budding movie lover that Bergman and Antonioni taught me how film could be more than popcorn entertainment... it could be art.

Of course one has to admit that Bergman and Antonioni are eternally entwined with the bad name that "art film" sometimes has... and for pretty good reason. After all, Ingmar Bergman directed an entire trilogy on God's silence. Antonioni directed an entire trilogy about the impossibility of love. What do you mean people think art films are needlessly depressing?

And so the reputation of the art film goes: If you want a good time... watch something else.

Still Bergman and Antonioni never really deserved that reputation. The Seventh Seal »

Anaya is no Ordinary 'Woman in a Bar'

16 July 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

- Sex and Lucia's Elena Anaya (who I most recently saw in Hierro where she played a character similar to that in The Orphanage mixed with Monica Vitti's character in L'avventura) has attached herself to writer-director Rafael Russo's English language romantic drama titled Woman In A Bar. Production co. La Zona's Maria Contreras is looking to set this up as a European-u.S. co-production since the story-line revolves around an Irish musician who leaves his Spanish girlfriend in Madrid to live in New York where he finds love in unusual circumstances. In bares a pinch of resemblance to Spaniard Julio Medem's Chaotic Ana about a free spirited woman who makes the same trek from the coastline of Spain to the Big Apple.   »
