  1. The best is "Equilibrium" by Soderbergh, about a man being analyzed by a distracted shrink.
  2. 67
    The young guns on board are Wong Kar Wai and Steven Soderbergh, and it's sad to report that they massively outshine the nonagenarian Antonioni.
  3. The omnibus film usually saves its home run for the climax, but Eros begins with the best third, Wong Kar-wai's "The Hand."
  4. 30
    In reality, Eros is a letdown, a collection of bagatelles that, with one exception, fails to live up to its promise.

    Anthology of 3 postmodern shorts from Wong Kar-Wai, Soderbergh, and Antonioni apparently ordered from most to least understandable. Wong';s "The Hand" features a great Gong Li, but overall it's much more simplistic than Wong's features. Soderbergh's "Equilibrium" is a piece of fantastic overlapping madness. But Antonioni's short is way, *way* too oblique; although it reminds me of "Close-Up," there is no meaningful revelation at the end, only naked Italian women. Expand
