Eros

When it comes to supergroup films, everything depends on the players. We never were compelled to watch the Allen-Coppola-Scorcese triptych New York Stories, for instance, but we’ll get in line for Eros, a filmic anthology on love from Wong Kar-Wai, Steven Soderbergh, and Michelangelo Antonioni. Kar-Wai’s Hands covers similar terrain as his ravishing In the Mood for Love; here, though, the tragic couple is a call girl and her tailor. It should tide us over until his 2046 is finally released here. Soderbergh’s work has been disappointing of late, but there’s still hope for Equilibrium, a noirish recounting of a therapy session employing the actors Adam Arkin and Robert Downey Jr. As for Antonioni, be forewarned: word is that his contribution is a horrific parody of his own masterpieces from the sixties. Ah, well, it’s hard to sustain genius.
