YMMV / L'eclisse

• Actor/Role Confusion: Up for debate, but the name Vittoria sounding fairly similar to the surname "Vitti" certainly invited this. Subverted as later Monica Vitti performed in many films classified as commedia all'italiana.
• Audience-Alienating Premise: Isn't this film boring?
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The film is full of those here and there. Some of its episodes are mildly mystifying.
• Black Sheep Hit: It is less known than Blowup and The Passenger, however, it is considered the director's top achievement or nearly by many critics and arthouse aficionados.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: This film was not commecially successful anywhere... except for Japan.
• Signature Scene:
  • The two scenes in La Borsa.
  • Also the final sequence.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Riccardo, played by Francisco Rabal, was an interesting, complicated character. Alas, he appeared only in two scenes.
