Eclipse is a Canadian drama film, written and directed by Jeremy Podeswa and released in 1994.[1]
Set in Toronto during the two-week period leading up to a total eclipse of the sun, the film revolves around ten characters of varying sexual orientations whose urban lifestyles are marked by emotional and social disconnection from others. Against the backdrop of the media circus surrounding the rare celestial event, each of the ten characters struggles to connect with others through a chain of sexual encounters, with each new encounter involving one of the two partners from the previous one.[2] The film also blends both black-and-white and colour cinematography, with the establishing scenes about the eclipse shot in colour and the sexual interactions filmed in black and white.[3]
The film premiered at the 1994 Toronto International Film Festival.[4]
