Ashes of Time (1994) 東邪西毒 Director: Wong Kar Wai Starring: Leslie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung Shot in Mainland China, this perversely lavish, self-consciously new wave martial arts film...is a languorous, sultry, sensuous action reverie. Accompanied by wailing flutes or solo electric guitar, it's set in a desert wilderness populated by a gang of angst ridden, lovelorn swordsmen-for-hire. One is going blind, another turning amnesiac, the rest are haunted by their various memories. The names Kurosawa and Leone come
tripping to the tongue in attempting to describe this brooding mélange
of extreme tilts and outlandish angles...Ashes of Time is mostly
anticipation with sudden inexplicable episodes of slo-mo zap blurs of
martial art tumult, as well as mystically congruent earthquakes and
geysers. Just as the flickering network of shadows efface the identities
of Wong's swordsmen and women, the complicated plot is nearly
overpowered by the film's anticipatory buildup, convoluted flashbacks,
and cathedral lighting. DVD: List Price: US $22.95
