God Of Love

Three short films, cinematic short stories. Wong Kar Wai's dark rainy consumptive obsession set in sixties Hong Kong. Steven Soderbergh's stylish 1950's dream analysis comedy. Michelangelo Antonioni's timeless Italian coastal fantasy.

These portmanteau films are strange beasts, they've been produced for many years, have never acheived any degree of critical acclaim, or box-office success, and yet they keep being made. For the directors I guess it's a chance to go back to where they started, with shorts, and indulge themselves a little, knowing that they won't shoulder all the blame if the finished film is unsuccesful.

Accept the limitations and this is a beautifully shot, easily digested, amusing way to spend 104 minutes of ones life.
