A FILM BY Kar-Wai Wong
Ashes is glorious and ultimately wrenching.""""
- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
One feels the passionate intensity of the filmmaker in every strand of his luminously intricate narrative.""""
- Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
In a move that would become his trademark, Wong rejects the happy ending for the almost ecstatically sad, making your heart soar."" ""
- Michelle Orange, The Village Voice
Synopsis
Ashes of Time Redux is inspired by Louis Cha's novel "The Eagle-Shooting Heroes." It centers on a man named Ouyang Feng (Leslie Cheung). Since the woman he loved rejected him, he has lived in the western desert, hiring skilled swordsmen to carry out contract killings. His wounded heart has made him pitiless and cynical, but his encounters with friends, clients and future enemies make him conscious of this solitude...Theatrical Release Date
