Warner Independant opens EROS site.

WONG-KAR-WAI.jpgIt's still in its infancy with only a synopsis but the site for EROS in now online.

Todd, Howitt and I saw this at TIFF last september and the reaction was pretty much the same. Wong Kar Wai's The Hand is vintage WKW. Steven Soderbergh's Equilibrium is stylish and very funny. Michelangelo Antonioni's The Dangerous Thread of Things has a special place reserved for it in the deepest bowels of hell. I'm sure Todd and Howitt would agree with me, watch WKW and Soderbergh's bits then run for the effing hills! The third film ruins the entire experience. The degration to blue movie/soft porn was not a welcome one. It induced much swearing and gnashing of teeth. It wasn't even good soft porn! ... erm... ahem.

EROS is set for limited release on April 8th.

What's with the bad-mouthing Antonionni? I saw EROS at 2004's TIFF (Capsule here). I watched people run for the hills during the third piece, which my companion began to squirm as well. But I like Antonionni's let the landscapes tell the story approach.
That being said, the wkw one was the superior piece even though they are all radically different.

I loved the first two parts, but Antonioni's made me want to gouge out my eyes.
