niente - l’eclisse (dir.: michelangelo antonioni)

The architecture of extinction. Niente The presence of absence. (Images here:) No words are spoken (What could be said?) Sunday 10 September 1961(evening) - neither Alain Delon (Piero) nor Monica Vitti (Vittoria) turn up for their usual date at the usual place. This is what the scene looks like without them... The last 7 minutes of this film represent the most extraordinary images ever put to celluloid. (This sequence does not include the very last three minutes as copyright forbids anything longer than 4 mins 30 secs!) I believe that this clip represents the absolute summit of European film history - do you?
