The Criterion Collection is the Vatican of home video. For L'Eclisse , Criterion performed a 4K digital restoration from the original 35mm camera negative. Prior to this, home video copies were sourced from faded positives riddled with scratches. Criterion’s team manually cleaned thousands of frames while preserving the natural grain structure (Antonioni loved grain as a textural element).
