L'eclisse (1962)

On 18 August 2024, French film star Alain Delon (1935) died at the age of 88. The breathtakingly good-looking James Dean of European cinema in the late 1950s proved in such films as Plein soleil/Purple Noon (1960), Rocco e i suoi fratelli/Rocco and his Brothers (1960) and Il Gattopardo/The Leopard (1963). In another masterpiece, Michelangelo Antonioni's L'eclisse/The Eclipse (1962), Delon plays a confident young stockbroker who has an affair with the enigmatic Monica Vitti. His materialistic nature eventually undermines their relationship. L'eclisse won the Special Jury Award at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Palme d'Or.
