Eros / USA/Italy/Hong Kong/China/France/Luxembourg/UK / 2004

Despite my high hopes, I’m afraid I’m going to have to march along with the consensus on this one: Eros is an uneven and — given the talent involved — disappointing picture. Wong Kar-Wai’s piece may not be a stretch for its director, but is nevertheless an absorbing tale of the unrequited love between a tailor and a courtesan. Things swiftly go downhill from there, with Steven Soderbergh delivering an amusing but unsubstantial bit starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Alan Arkin. Sadly, Michelangelo Antonioni, whose previous work I am a great admirer of, delivers the worst of the bunch; throughout it, I felt as though I was witnessing one of the old man’s wet dreams.
