L'Eclisse [The Eclipse] (1962) by Michelangelo Antonioni: Death of a white vertical bar after titles
2The Image: The end of the affair - how the minute (tiny) visual 'drama' of how that thin white vertical bar on the far left now descends back into the total blackness of the screen after being born just moments before (https://youtu.be/NL7Lowj12h8) as the very first 'action' of the film, followed by the opening credits)
This same bar seems to 'erase' itself as the final action after all those titles and 'information' - ushering back that black, black screen...
... then the film begins. (Maybe a metaphor for life and death? The inevitable rise and fall of the central relationship?)
Here is the whole life/death sequence stitched together so to speak: https://youtu.be/-HEoNzDd9cQ
