This is a great Christmas movie. It has a fine cast, and is very funny. I like the scene in which Mary is cooking Slumgullion for Mike.

L'Eclisse, like Antonioni's previous two films, explores the emptiness of modern life. The deliberate pacing can by trying. I liked L'Avventura and La Notte more.
