"Eros" film review In the three stories of the film, I saw three directors' different interpretations of sexual desire. Wong Kar-wai is subtle, Soderbergh is euphemistic, and Antonioni is bold and explicit. Wong Kar-Wai's story, compared to the other two foreign directors, illustrates the veiled expression of sexuality in Chinese culture. In Chinese art, whether it is literature, painting or film, the expression is always half-concealed, and the point is reached. The most exposed segment in the film is only Zhang Zhen's ass, and the biggest scale is only the moaning and gasping during sex, which is not unconservative compared to the other two parts. Soderbergh's expression is euphemistic because the sexuality in the film is expressed through the actions and words of the two men. The peeping of the psychiatrist with the binoculars, the lust of the patient in the dream. Although the naked body of the two girls that appeared is not bold and straightforward, it is much larger than the clips of Wong Kar Wai. Antonioni was quite bold and straightforward. At the beginning, a girl was basking in the sun with her upper body bare. She seemed to be naked with her upper body unconcerned. Another girl masturbating in front of the camera with nothing on her body. The differences between Chinese and Western cultures are obvious. The two girls in the film dare to show their bodies boldly. At the end of the film, Kerou shows her whole body and dances gracefully by the sea, so free, so pure, and so unreserved. The camera always follows her, and the viewer's eyes are drawn by her. This reminds me of Li Cangdong's "Burning" in which the heroine dances lightly in the setting sun with her upper body bare. The biggest similarity between the three clips is that men's sexuality is always pulled by women. In Wong Kar-wai's film, Miss China, she helped the little tailor complete her transformation from a boy to a man with her hands. In Soderbergh's film, the psychiatrist achieves psychological satisfaction by peeping at the woman, while the patient achieves spiritual comfort by lusting after a woman in a dream. Antonioni Zhong Kerou is reluctant to have a relationship with her boyfriend, who keeps quarreling with her, and the friend gets physical satisfaction from Linda, who is only on two sides.
