Powerful
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Michelangelo Antonioni creates a small masterwork. Steven Soderbergh and Wong Kar Wai, unfortunately, are not up to his standards. Still, one great work out of three efforts rewards the viewer The silence of Antonioni's work continues to echo the emptiness of our modern world. Behind the silence is that secret violence that shapes our lives. Soderbergh has declined a bit in his vision, but the old master retains lucidity and insight. The DVD is excellent. I recommend watching the Antonioni work first. Then put the DVD aside for a moment when you tire of commercial television and holiday parades and endless football scores. The non-Antonioni sections are worse than American football. Watching them will improve your appreciation of televised American football.
To make this movie's critic,composed by three shorts,I will make three critics about the three segments.The hand-Directed by Wong Kar Wai-Rating:9/10 I never was a Wong Kar Wai's fan.I think that Happy together is a bad pretentious movie.But his short on this movie,The hand,is simply great.The dialogs and the story are really well and it is the best short of the movie.The short does not focus in much sex scenes.There are only some.The short is more focused to dialogs,to characters and to the story.Equilibrium-Directed by Steven Soderbergh-Rating:6/10 Equilibrium is a fun,but mediocre short.Steven Soderbergh continues with his irregular career.Robert Downey Jr and Alan Arkin made very good performances.Equilibrium is for having a good time and nothing else.Il filo pericoloso delle cose-Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni-Rating:2/10 I always considered Michelangelo Antonioni as a master in movies.Well,I considered him a master until I saw his short in this movie Eros.I cannot believe that Antonioni was behind this short.It is almost all the time sex scenes without a sense.I think that Antonioni is very old for directing something.Antonioni's short was simply pathetic.
I don't know about you love fans but this movie to me is very boring. I don't know if it was too lousy or just plan out not good. The first one caught my interest about a young tailer who helps a rich women with her dresses. The second deals with Robert Downey Jr. having to discuss his problems with a voyeuristic psychologist about a strange dream he keeps having about a woman. And the third deals with two Italian used to be lovers dealing with their own problems. There were no interesting things in this movie. I thought it was just plan out boring. There was no action what so ever in this piece. Unless you are a fan of sitting and listening to crap like this than go on ahead and have a ball but I give this movie a grade F.
One shudders at the disrespect shown here for the master of cinema Antonioni. Clearly one of the five or so greatest directors that has ever lived.His segment is easily the most worthwhile of the three. Wong and Soderbergh provide bland mainstream narratives. Antonioni, whilst not on his 60s form, still sculpts with cinema like no- one else. The acting is stylised, disturbingly so, but not without intention. The composition is gorgeous. The meanings teasingly subtle. There is an indefinable wholesomeness, not a full meal perhaps, but a gorgeous miniature that satisfies the palette and leaves a lingering aftertaste. Yes, there is also some nudity - what are we, five year olds?
