TOMATOMETER

I guess one out of three ain't bad.

Three smart filmmakers produce three whiffs on the theme of love.

The auteurist feast turns out to be a paltry spread, with one director on autopilot, another playing it safe, and the last apparently working on assignment for the European Red Shoe Diaries.

It is fairly melancholy news that the works of two of Antonioni's admirers outshine the master's segment.

Eros comes nowhere near meeting the challenge of its title when compared to the increasingly lewd standards of our current cinema.

There's one good movie in here, sure. But unfortunately, it's over after the first 43 minutes.

Audience Reviews for Eros

Both Steven Soderbergh's and Michaelangelo Antonioni's segments are very interesting and for the most part flawless, but I really wasn't taken with Kar Wai Wong's. The first segment is just so repetative and drawn out for no reason, especially when the love story isn't even powerful. However, Robert Downey Jr. and Alan Arkin make up for it ten fold in a truly funny and powerful therapist session. I liked the b&w; vs. color transition, it made the story feel all the more dreamlike. The relationship analysis in Antonioni's final segment is really a unique type of film making. It's not simplistic in its message, but the minimalistic visuals really put you in a unique mood.

The Hand & The Equilibrium were good, But I didn't like Antonioni's The Dangerous Thread Of Things

The only thing that brings the film down is Antonioni's very weak segment.
