Title: Eros
Aliases:
Synopsis:
Eros is a three-part anthology film about eroticism by a trio of world cinema's
outstanding directors: Wong Kar Wai (2046), Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Twelve)
and Michelangelo Antonioni (Blow up). The three vignettes in Eros may seem totally
unrelated on surface, but underneath the different stories lies a common theme
about erotic desires. Each episode explores erotic desires at a different level,
from physical to psychological to spiritual. It also serves as an homage by two
younger directors, Wong and Soderbergh, to the Italian master Antonioni who has
informed and inspired their work.
"The Hand" by Wong Kar Wai
Cheongsam once again embodies the mood for love. "The Hand", widely
acclaimed during the film's theatrical release, tells an erotic tale about a
young tailor (Chang Chen) and a beautiful Hong Kong courtesan (Gong Li). Hands
seems the only way to bridge the gap between love and desire...
"Equilibrium" by Steven Soderbergh
A peculiar and even perverse comedy about an advertising executive's (Robert
Downey, Jr.) weird and erotic dream of a woman. Losing his equilibrium, he turns
to his psychiatrist (Alan Arkin) who engages himself in all sorts of strange
acts in the course of therapy...
"The Dangerous Thread of Things" by Michelangelo Antonioni
A middle-aged American man and his Italian wife enter a stalemate in their relationship.
In the magnificent ruins and landscapes of Italy, he encounters a passionate
Italian woman, but erotic desires means more than just physical intimacy...
