    "Eclipse" is a remarkable meditation on the effects of war.

    In "Eclipse" a child survivor wanders barefoot across a stunningly evocative landscape. Director Jason Ruscio expresses the profound loneliness of a decimated world through richly textured images that bring to mind the films of Andrei Tarkovsky – burned out interiors, hands grasping to hold each other, time-worn photographs and faceless soldiers in the snow. "Eclipse" is a remarkable meditation on the effects of war. - Jewish Film Institute
