PHARAOH (Faraon). Analysis of the Solar Eclipse Scene

The scene of the solar eclipse remains in the memory of the audience watching Pharaoh. How was it realised? How did the filmmakers deprive the world of colour and introduce darkness engulfing the earth? What role does the sound layer play in this scene? What difficulties arose during the shooting of this scene and how did director Jerzy Kawalerowicz manage to overcome them?
