Eros

 Released Year: 2004

1. The Dangerous Thread of Things

Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni

Casted by:

Christopher Buchholz as Christopher

Regina Nemni as Cloe

Luisa Ranieri as The Girl / Linda

 Story:

Antonioni attempts to breathe life into the old Italian movies of lover's spats and diversions and comes up with what feels like a script-less little mess of a movie bent solely on see-through blouses and nude cavorting on beaches.

2.  Equilibrium

Directed by Steven Soderbergh

Casted by:

Robert Downey Jr. as Nick Penrose

Alan Arkin as Dr. Pearl / Hal

Ele Keats as The Woman / Cecelia

 Story:

Steven Soderberg makes a testy little script about an ad man in therapy with a bizarre psychiatrist exploring a recurring sensual dream. Shot is black and white the actors give it their all but the story is silly and becomes boring with all the distractions Soderberg works into the weak plot.

3. The Hand

Directed by 王家卫 Wong Kar Wai

Casted by:

鞏俐 Gong Li as Miss Hua

张震 Chang Chen as Xiao Zhang

 Story:

Wong Kar Wai presents the strongest of the three films in a dark story about a tailor who sublimates his desire for a courtesan by making clothes for her - a 'servant' who finally reverses his role. The photography and interweaving of the characters is very beautiful to experience.

L² Scored: 6/10

L² Comment:

To be fair, each movie will have a full 3 marks, the extra 1 mark will depends on what kind of surprise i got when watching it. For the `st & 2nd movie, sadly i will only score a 1 for each of them. Wong Kar Wai movie i gave it a 3 & extra 1 more score for the juicy Chang Chen's ass :)
