该片是一部三段式主题（爱和性）电影，由米开朗基罗•安东尼奥尼（《危险临界点》）、史蒂文•索德伯格（《平衡》）和王家卫（《手》）三位导演联合执导。 　　《手》讲的是1960年代的香港，年轻的裁缝（张震）多年不计回报地爱着交际花华小姐（巩俐）的故事，影像华丽，充满了质感又略带伤感。《平衡》的故事发生在1950年代的纽约，广告人尼克•彭罗斯（罗伯特•唐尼）总是被春梦困扰，只得向他的心理医生珀尔（阿兰•阿金）求助，基调虽荒谬反常，却也可看成颇有自嘲意味的幽默喜剧。《危险临界线》则仍是安东尼奥尼一向关注的现代社会中的男女关系主题，哲学味道浓烈。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.
