Read MoreKar Wai Wong fans should have a field day with EROS--the tri-part feature made up of roughly 40-minute segments (separated by erotic art accompanied by some lovely music) from three world-class directors: Wong, Soderbergh & Antonioni. Soderbergh's is a funny & rather surprising (but not erotic) shaggy dog story involving a patient & his therapist, played respectively by Robert Downey Jr. and Alan Arkin, both terrific. Michelangelo Antonioni gives us heat & desire--quietly, allusively, sadly. Although the maestro has suffered a stroke that renders him speechless, he still knows his visuals (oh--the sets, architecture & scenery on view!), and his actors manage to create an interesting pas de trois. Wong's contribution? Wow. This filmmaker loves to linger over textures, moments & longing; his episode is the most erotic, tinglingly so, with Li Gong and Chen Chang gorgeous & heartbreaking as lovers who are never quite that. Rated individually, Wong gets 9 stars, Antonioni 7, Soderbergh 6. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

What I got was 3 vignettes with music/art breaks between. The pace was leaden, the eroticism totally absent, the stories largely pointless, though somewhat amusing in Soderbergh's contribution. How Antonioni made a beautiful woman who gets nude frequently unerotic, I have no idea.
I like movies that make me think and wonder. This one made me wonder - what *were* they thinking? Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
