Three bad faces
. As the carriers of desire in the three short films, the outstanding performances of the three actresses complemented each other and became the biggest attraction in "Eros".
As early as the premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Gong Li's performance in "The Hand" won a lot of praise.

In the film, her hand is her weapon to seduce men to the best of her ability, and in stark contrast to her is the hand of a little tailor, who cuts gorgeous clothes with her hands to increase her bargaining power to please men. The hand becomes the bond of the delicate relationship between her and the little seamstress, and Gong Li's memorable lines in the film are even more the highlight of the film: "You have always been so kind to me, I have never repaid you, and I am afraid that in the future. There's no chance. I've lost everything, I used to have my body, and now I don't attract anyone anymore, only my hands are left. You won't mind, will you?"
Al Jinz doesn't have a single line in the film, and a few simple actions are enough to dazzle the hero and make it indelible. The Paris-born, German-raised actress has been on the silver screen since the age of 15, using her talent for music and dance to appear in more than 20 films and TV shows, including "Mother" and "Frankie and Johnny."
Linda, played by Luisa Raniali, is the hottest character in the film. She uses her youthful capital to sway her desires, but after that, she hides pain and crisis. Luisa is a rising star in the Italian film industry in recent years. She is favored by the Italian film industry for her role in Leonardo Piracioni's "The Princess and the Pirates", and won the Best Newcomer Award for Italian Films for this film.
Cinematographer : Antonioni
The 93-year-old film master Michelangelo Antonioni was one of the pioneers of Italian neorealism in the 1940s and was once called by Bazin as the representative of "psychological neorealism" figure. His works focus on depicting the spiritual loss and desolation of middle-class and wealthy people, as well as the anxiety-filled situations in their lives. The film narrative is often laid out with non-dramatic conflicting characters' moods. In 1943, he established the vanguard of Neorealism with his first short documentary "The People of the Po". In 1950, he made his debut film "A Record of Some Kind of Love", which was praised as "the new breath of Italian cinema".
In the early 1960s, Antonioni completed the pathological study of human emotions with his famous trilogy "Adventures", "Eclipse", "Night" and "Red Desert". In the late 1960s, Antonioni left his home country to travel the world, and the style of his works changed from the signature obscurity to tight plot and strong criticism. In 1966, he shot "Zoom" in London, which showed the unknowability of reality; then in the United States, he shot "Zabriskie Point," a true reflection of the American student movement, which was severely boycotted by the United States at the time, and many years later Its revolutionary and greatness was recognized. In 1974, Antonioni traveled to North Africa, the United Kingdom, Spain and Germany to shoot "Occupation: Reporter". The film not only borrowed the form of road movies, but also reflected the inner hesitation and self-exile of the characters in the constant escape, and became the first film in film history. An experiment in electronic cinema.
After suffering a stroke in 1985, Antonioni has lost his ability to move and speak, but he has not given up his pursuit of film. Antonioni once said: "There is only one thing in life for me, and that is film." "Eros" may be the last film of his life, and he hopes to express to the world in his eyes in his final years sex and love.
