Eros Reviews
How are the mighty scattered, fallen and lost.

The rain still drips like tears in Wong's faintly lit alleyways, the paint in his narrow corridors continues to peel, the floral-print curtains in his '60s drawing rooms still billow in the breeze--but the colors have faded...

The chatter in the lobby, I predict, will be from people wondering how and when [Antonioni] flipped his lid... The film is a failure, no matter how grandiose its title or the names above it.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 5, 2008
I guess one out of three ain't bad.

Three directors combine short films to form a triptych about love. The problem? The connections are tenuous at best. These are really three films marketed as sharing a theme.
| Original Score: C- | Jun 21, 2007
Three is a crowd, and Wong and Soderbergh would have got along just fine without Antonioni there to wreck the marriage.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 15, 2007
If there's a point to any of this, it's the supposedly therapeutic revelation that major female mystery lies in what you can discover by rifling through her purse.

Anthologies by their inherent nature tend to be highly uneven. And Eros proves no exception, with the individual sections ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2006
An excruciating festival of middlebrow good taste.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 23, 2006
An intriguing but ultimately frustrating triptych.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 17, 2006
All three short films were minor works.
| Original Score: C | Jul 21, 2006
Feels like an experiment that you'd be happy to catch during a film festival ... right before you nodded off for a solid 90-minute catnap.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 29, 2006
Eros demeure une expérience réussie en son genre, même si aucun des cinéastes invités ne réussit réellement à repousser les limites de son propre cinéma
| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 9, 2006
Three smart filmmakers produce three whiffs on the theme of love.

confoundingly horrendous

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.

A trio of films by Antonioni and two other directors dealing with the subject of sexual fantasy and obsession.
Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jul 8, 2005
It is fairly melancholy news that the works of two of Antonioni's admirers outshine the master's segment.

No matter what caliber of talent is on board, omnibus anthology pictures are almost doomed to be uneven affairs.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 5, 2005
Eros aims high. But aside from Wong Kar-Wai's effectively compressed erotic musings, it falls short.
