L'Eclisse (1962)

A dreamer young woman tries to find herself between a breakup and a new lively boyfriend.

An impressive film that can mean something different depending on who is watching it and their personality. The main character is a woman who loves life and anything new and different and stays away from materialism and easily gets bored of the people attracted to it. Still in the process of learning about herself, she acts almost instinctively when she is attracted to something, even if she is aware of the reasons that work against  the said attraction or its durability. She does not find her place in the world as she realizes more and more how widespread this desire for material is, but the world continues its evolutionary cycle without the care of  the different and special individuals, an idea reinforced by the end that uses no music, no comments and no familiar characters.

Directed by: Michelangelo Antonioni
