Synopsis:

A trilogy - or perhaps a ménage à trois - of short films by internationally prominent directors tackling the elusive subject of desire. The results are tantalizing but for the most part less than fully satisfying (it is usually that way with anthology pictures). Wong Kar-Wai's entry, "The Hand," is the first, longest and best; its elegantly delimited tale of a courtesan and a tailor in early-1960's Hong Kong fits neatly alongside the director's recent features, "In the Mood for Love" and "2046," and suggests that the short form may suit him better. Steven Soderbergh's offering, "Equilibrium," is clever, chilly and cutely hermetic, though Alan Arkin and Robert Downey Jr. are fun to watch, and the director's ardor for the medium is always admirable. That leaves Michelangelo Antonioni, the inspriation for the project (the lovely theme song, sung by Caetano Veloso, is named for him). "The Dangerous Thread of Things" looks almost like a parody of his great early work, but it shows that, in his 90's and in frail health, he still has an exquisite eye for landscape and for beautiful actresses with no clothes on.

A three-part anthology film about love and sexuality: a menage-a-trois between a couple and a young woman on the coast of Tuscany; an advertising executive under enormous pressure at work, who, during visits to his psychiatrist, is pulled to delve into the possible reasons why his stress seems to manifest itself in a recurring erotic dream; and a story of unrequited love about a beautiful, 1960s high-end call girl in an impossible affair with her young tailor.
