World of Wong Kar-Wai: Ashes of Time Redux

Playing on 35mm as part of our World of Wong Kar-Wai series!

From Director Wong Kar Wai comes the definitive version of ASHES OF TIME, an epic martial arts masterpiece of larger-than-life characters, breathtaking landscapes and exquisite fight scenes. The story centers on Ouyang Feng (Leslie Cheung), a heartbroken and cynical man who spends his days alone in the desert, connecting expert swordsmen with those seeking revenge and willing to pay for it. As Ouyang narrates his tale, interweaving the stories of his unusual clients, old friends and future foes, he begins to realize the mistakes of his own past, and how his fear of rejection may have led him to a life of exile.
