Eros

The best is "Equilibrium" by Soderbergh, about a man being analyzed by a distracted shrink.

I guess one out of three ain't bad.

The omnibus film usually saves its home run for the climax, but Eros begins with the best third, Wong Kar-wai's "The Hand."

Both Wong and Soderbergh have understandably expressed their gratitude at, even in this tripartite way, being part of an Antonioni project... But Eros is better for what they contribute than for his work.

Like most anthology films, this thematically linked trio of shorts is a mixed bag.

Interesting misfires from Wong Kar-wai and Steven Soderbergh barely manage to atone for the seedy muddle concocted by eightysomething Michelangelo Antonioni, who mocks his own reputation for existential ellipsis with his voyeuristic vignette.

It doesn't seem like overstating things to say that Eros becomes steadily worse as it goes along.
