Ashes of Time / Dung che sai duk - Redux-2008*.DvDrip (Good Englsih subtitles)

A broken-hearted hit man moves to the desert where he finds skilled swordsmen to carry out his contract killings.

Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai directed this lyrical, dream-like martial arts epic. Its cast features a virtual who's who of the Hong Kong film world. The movie is less a straightforward action thriller than a visually striking meditation on memory and love. This film is one of the most celebrated examples of 1990’s Hong Kong cinema: it won multiple awards in its native Hong Kong, along with a Golden Osella for Best Cinematography at the 1994 Venice Film Festival.

*In the years following Ashes of Time's initial theatrical release in 1994, the original negatives were lost. With ‘Ashes of Time Redux’, the director restructures the film according to seasons, effectively clarifying the central narratives, and digitally colorizes the film to render cinematographer Christopher Doyle's masterful imagery all the more lavish and intoxicatingly gorgeous.

‘Ashes of Time Redux’ is a visual treat of action among swirling sands and beautiful, treacherous landscapes – the result is a stirring sensory experience. When this redux was screened at the New York Film Festival in 2008, one reviewer called it "insanely gorgeous".
