Product Description

 
Three award-winning directors take a look at eroticism, sex, and love in different ways in the international omnibus film EROS. Hong Kong's Wong Kar-Wai (IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, CHUNGKING EXPRESS) contributes "The Hand," a moving, poignant tale of a simple tailor, Zhang (Chang Chen), who becomes obsessed with an elegant, demanding, beautiful call girl, Ms. Hua (Gong Li), as he makes special dresses for her, knowing that she will wear them while being with other men. As her life dovetails, Zhang is faced with the choice of remaining her friend or leaving her to drown in the gutter. In "Equilibrium," writer-director Steven Soderbergh (TRAFFIC, ERIN BROCKOVICH) tells a black-and-white noir farce starring Robert Downey Jr. as an ad man relating his erotic dream to a psychiatrist (Alan Arkin) who appears to be more interested in peeping out his office window.

Review: "Eros" (2004) combines a mildly entertaining black-and-white short sarcastically titled "Equilibirum" by Steven Soderberg involving Nick (Robert Downey, Jr.), as a troubled 1950s New York advertising executive with a recurrent dream about a woman in...

EROS--IT'S NOT A SEX DREAM...EXACTLY

Date of Review:  Apr 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: EROS, a trilogy of short films from the celebrated likes of Wong Kar Wai, Steven Soderbergh and Michelangelo Antonioni, stumbles along the way to portraying fleeting moments of eroticism
Review: "Never touched a woman before," she asks demurely, knowingly, "have you?" She is Miss Hua, a courtesan in 1960s Hong Kong. He is Zhang, a young tailor's apprentice hired to fit her for beautifully ornate costumes. One quickly surmises that not only...
