Photography definitely is Antonioni’s greatest strength, I too think that the photography of “L’Éclisse” is absolutely amazing, and Blowup even more so.

Zabriskie Point is definitely my favorite film of his after L’eclisse (in fact I’d probably see them as equally great once I get a look at the new DVD), it’s certainly as beautifully filmed and much less austere. It also features two of his most amazing sequences, the “desert orgy” and the glorious detonation accompanied by Pink Floyd. The extreme inconsequence of plot can put you off, but, shot-by-shot, I can think of no other filmmaker’s work that is as gorgeously photographed,

Actually I saw “L’Éclisse” and came to the conclusion that the fact that it was a borefest does not keep it up from being an amazingly well-done movie that had a huge impact on me. Everything Antonioni did with the film makes perfect sense, and it left me in an amazing state of despair, because I had the impression that I was just like those characters in the movie.
