Has its ups and downs. Some good short films - Werner Herzog and Wim Wenders are especially good, and Jim Jarmusch is as sensitive and subtle as always. Some don't quite make the grade - Victor Erice's piece is irritating and self important, and Spike Lee's is quite interesting, but doesn't do well in the context of the films and in its ten minute space.
The anthology is definitely worth watching if you're a fan of any of these directors, or of art-house cinema in general, and if you don't mind stories with no real plot to speak of. Generally speaking, I prefer more versatile film anthologies like Paris Je T'aime and To Each His Cinema, which offer a wider range of styles.
