The Air I Breathe (2008) is a movie that has four vignettes, each ostensibly about one of our basic emotions, each tied together with characters from each other.
While I don't know if each vignettes succesfully explores the emotion it sets out to explore, the stories themselves are intriguing and well acted enough without that artifice to frame them, and I think the movie is sucessful, and would have been more so, if it had left that organizing device behind.
Starring some in Forest Whitaker, Brendan Fraser, Andy Garcia and Kevin Bacon, it is Sarah Michelle Gellar who really puts on the acting chops and does a great job in this drama, as the troubled young pop star in the third and fourth stories.
All the stories are linked, but I have been trying to put the timeline together in my head to see if they make sense and have been unsuccessful in doing it, so I will just accept that it does, and not let that deter from my enjoyment of the film...and I really did enjoy it.
