A trilogy about lust, with contributions by filmmakers from three different cultures, must have seemed like a great idea on paper. But "Eros" offers mostly wan eroticism. Hong Kong's Wong Kar-wei does feature gorgeous visuals--set decoration, costumes and lead actors--in "The Hand," his otherwise predictable segment centered on a tailor (Cheng Chen) who yearns for an unattainable courtesan (Gong Li). At least Steven Soderbergh employs humor in his overlong sketch, "Equilibrium," which presents a distracted psychoanalyst (Alan Arkin) and a patient (Robert Downey Jr.) plagued by a recurring dream in 1955. The three-in-one movie experiences a serious disconnect, however, during Michelangelo Antonioni's "The Dangerous Thread of Things." This incomprehensible piece concerns a man (Christopher Buchholz) involved with two women (Regina Nemni and Luisa Ranieri) in a seaside Italian town where nudity is apparently commonplace. The octogenarian auteur ("L'Avventura" in 1960) relies on flesh rather than character or plot.
