The Eclipse, or the Courtship of the Sun and the Moon

The Eclipse Courtship of the Sun and Moon originally Lclipse du soleil en pleine lune is a French silent film made in 1907 by director Georges Mlis.

The Eclipse Courtship of the Sun and Moon has been remarked upon for its overt sexual symbolism. Christine Cornea posits that the films primary theme, the clash of scientific logic with sexual desire, was also evident in Mlis earlier films A Trip to the Moon and The Impossible Voyage, and would become a prominent in many subsequent sciencefiction films.Some scholars, interpreting the Sun and the Moon to be both male, have described the erotic eclipse as an early depiction of homosexuality in cinema, with an effeminate Moon being seduced by an devilishly masculine Sun. By contrast, Mliss film catalogue describes the liaison in heterosexual terms, referring to the participants as the man in the sun and dainty Diana and using pronouns to match. ........
