ASHES OF TIME (1994)

You know, somewhere, I have no idea where, there is a complete review of this film floating around already. I saw it finally in the lean, mean months of summer,. somewhere before the new job, the new place, and the new look at a lot of my relationships, and I should really resee it before I review it. I'm sure my thoughts will have changed somewhat. But I will say this: see this movie. If someone else hasn't said it, I will; director Wong Kar Wai does for romantic longing what John Woo does for guns. Ashes of Time is a beautiful, poetic, challenging movie that turned people's conception of HK cinema on its head. I know that you're probably cheesed that I didn't even include a plot sypnosis but believe me: it wouldn't have helped. Do yourself a favor and see it.
