An event fifteen years in the making, Ashes of Time Redux restores Wong Kar Wais lone martial arts epic to its full glory. Redux is a "e;revisiting"e; of Wongs classic 1994 film, with a tightened edit, an enhanced image worthy of Christopher Doyles stunning cinematography, & a darker, richer score from composer Wu Tong & cellist Yo Yo Ma. Ashes of Time Redux is worthy of multiple revisits
- not only for its brilliant re-imagining of Louis Chas swordplay heroes, but also for yet another glimpse of the late Leslie Cheung, whose passion never burned brighter than beneath the onscreen guidance of Wong Kar Wai.
