Eros (2004)
Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni
A three-part anthology 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; a story of unrequited love about a beautiful, 1960s high-end call girl in an impossible affair with her young tailor.

What critics compared Eros to
The 92-year-old master responsible for such classics as "L'Avventura" (1960) and "Blowup" (1966) is known for lacing his elegant images with symbolism and profound meanings.
The octogenarian auteur ("L'Avventura" in 1960) relies on flesh rather than character or plot.
The Antonioni film, "The Dangerous Thread of Things," was written by Tonino Guerra ("Blowup," "L'Avventura"), based on some Antonioni stories.
It's a forgettable, if self-serious, little trifle, especially considering Antonioni's erotic trilogy of three of his most magnificent films: "L'Avventura," "La Notte" and "L'Eclisse."
Antonioni's "The Dangerous Thread of Things" was written by longtime collaborator Tonino Guerra ("Blowup," "L'Avventura") and based on some Antonioni stories in his book That Bowling Alley on the Tiber.
Nothing wrong with that, but moviegoers have come to expect much more from Antonioni, who directed such classics as "L'Avventura" and "Blow-Up."
