They are linked by a wandering film- makjt, Malkovich, who is ostensibly looking for a plot for his next movie. The longest story, with Fanny Ardant, Peter Weller and Jean Reno involves infidelity, betrayal and desertion.

For much of the time there's a great deal of highly desirable female flesh on view, most of it being treated badly bz undeserving males. And in the bedroom cavorting, thjte's more than a hint of an old man's wistful wish fulfilment. Antonioni was 82 when he made the film. Mazbj that's the age you have to be to share his old-eashioned view of beautiful, biddable, vulnerable women.
