Eros

Eros

NTSC/Region 0. NTSC/Region 0. Three visionary directors. One erotic journey. Eros is not only an anthology of three medium length films on the subject of eroticism and desire, but also a salute to the most admired and inspiring director's Steven Soderbergh (Traffic, Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve, Erin Brockovich,) Wong Kar Wai (In the Mood for Love, 2046, Chungking Express, ) and Michelangelo Antonioni (Blow-Up.) A three-part anthology film about love and sexuality: a menage-a-trois between a couple and a young woman on the coast of Tuscany; an advertising executive under enormous pressure at work, who, during visits to his psychiatrist, is pulled to delve into the possible reasons why his stress seems to manifest itself in a recurring erotic dream; and a story of unrequited love about a beautiful, 1960s high-end call girl in an impossible affair with her young tailor. We can see three different and unique approaches to the theme, Wong's wit a richly textured and achingly emotional erotic tale; Soderbergh with a wry and perverse comedy to find out the real desire by the comparison of reality and dreams; and Antonioni with his philosophical meditation on the abyss between men and women.
