 NIXFLIX.COM Movie Review of ... Ashes of Time (1994)
"Ashes of Time" is not about the swordplay or the martial arts, although they do exist within the background of the film.
Cheung plays Feng as a charismatic charmer, at eased with his surroundings, but nevertheless a charismatic loser troubled by his love for his brother's wife.
We later learn that she married the brother out of spite, angry with Feng for leaving her one too many times.

 Ashes of Time
First, Ashes of Time is based upon a legendary martial arts novels often called Eagle Shooting Heroes and Return of the Condor Heroes.
This is due in part to the martial arts direction by Sammo Hung.

 Wong Kar-wai
Time and again the camera studies the stark black and white face of the clock as it attempts to capture the time that is constantly advancing.
Time Magazine article on Wong and his on-set antics.
His preoccupation with capturing time is constantly evident, his camera doting on specific moments and intent on finding difference in repetition.

 TIMEasia.com Wong Kar-wai: And The Winner Is ... 5/24/2000
For instance, Maggie lives in Paris, has a husband, has a life, and she has packed her luggage so many times to come over here, only for me to say "sorry" each time.
Kar-wai: Well, they expected a martial arts film.
You meet an old friend and he speaks English to you, and its strange.

 MovieMartyr.com - Ashes of Time
In Ashes of Time, which is Wong’s try at the wu-xia genre, he brings his distinctive style and worldview to a genre that normally would work best with the most workmanlike direction imaginable.
The result is an art film that just happens to feature characters that are martial arts experts.
They rely on the disappointments of life accumulating until to a point where they become expected, and even when the disaffected narrators of his stories work toward a happy ending, it feels tentative at best.

 Ashes of Time
Ashes of Time won 3 Hong Kong Film Awards in 1994: for best cinematography, best art direction and best costumes.
His life is concerned with his search for fame and he is willing to fight for any cause.
It took me a while to realise that this movie wasn't just about sword fighting and that the fight scenes were just there to add to the feel of the film.

 Journal of Regression Therapy vol 14 2001
Russ Davis continued as Editor and I continued as Assistant/Associate/Co-Editor from 1991 until Russ' sudden tragic passing in 1998, at which time I became Editor, with Dr. Tom Shafer as Assistant Editor.
I reveled in remembering the many happy times with my children as they were growing up, the wonderful support my husband gave me through forty nine years together.
When we took over the Journal, Russ and I knew that the three previous editors had set very high standards for the Journal, and we were determined to continue as they had begun.

 The Infinite Matrix John Clute on Swanwick's Bones of the Moon
Out of the ashes of time travel, its tangles and attenuations mercifully forgotten, Swanwick has created, by the skin of his teeth, something positive.
It tells us that the nausea we have felt for 200 years is all she wrote.
Time travel SF, on the other hand, being about nothing but change, offers no such solace.

 Dung che sai duk (Ashes of Time)
This was more or less my feeling on this film the first time I watched it in '96 when I wasn't a serious film fan and didn't understand what art was.
It's controversial in the way Pulp Fiction is: its non-conventional style spawned a wide range and variety of opinions.
Ashes of Time is one of the most controversial film of the 90s, at least in the Hong Kong film scene.

 Wong Kar-wai : Ashes of Time
Wong Kar-wai's decidedly magnificent, and perhaps notorious, sole foray into period martial arts, taken from Louis Cha's classic novel 'Eagle Shooting Heroes'.
When I got to the film's ending I finally realized what Ashes of Time is about, and its relationship with my previous films.
Every character herein pines for someone offscreen, and the desiccated landscape, the Leonesque use of close-ups and Morricone inspired scoring, and the amazing pitch-perfect performances from the most glamorous stars ever to shine down on earth make these characters resonate with the force of archetypes.

 Ashes of Time
As directed by Alfonso Cuaron, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the first movie in the series that feels like an artist's imaginative vision, rather than a slavish retelling of the books.

Secondly, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai plays an assassin losing his sight, looking for one last job so he can return to his hometown.
Again, it is in the way Wong carves his own niche with his particular visual style that Ashes of Time rises far above not only just other wuxia movies or other Hong Kong movies, but most films (regardless of where they were produced) in general.

Leslie Cheung stars as Ou-yang Feng, an innkeeper who declines, unlike his betrayer friend, to drown his sorrows in a mystical wine that kills memories.
I mention Egoyan not to introduce a comparative essay, but rather to prepare you for Wong's style.

 THE FLESH EATERS (
In 1989 Chris D. recorded an LP with the one-time group STONE-BY-STONE which -- since the style of music was identical -- changed their name back to THE FLESH EATERS.
Mixing was completed in the first week of August '98; remixes were completed in January 1999.
They continued to perform on the west coast as well as record two more albums and an EP before discontinuing performances in the Spring of 1993.

 The Little Lighthouse
Like many other early LA punk bands, Fleshearters had to wait for a long time until they published their first album.
At the same time, my generation became ready for Chris' music and one of the things that made it possible for a wider audience to hear what Chris D Had to say was ceirtainly the fact that the new albums were published by legendary SST label.
SST days are long gone, and I'm not quite sure if this able is activa at all, so Chris D returned to his own label Upsetter and recently published a new Flesheaters album Ashes of Time.

 Ashes of Time
Wong Kar-Wai has created a film that is structured in such an elliptical way that it needs more than one viewing to understand the plot and the characters.
The third time (one day after!) that I watched ASHES OF TIME, I saw still more that allowed me to understand not only the actions but also the feelings and outlooks of each now eminently distinctive character.
The first time I watched this film I nearly shut it off after twenty minutes because I felt so confused and so disconnected with what was happening on the screen.

 DVD Reviews - Ashes of Time, Fallen Angels & Happy Together
Maybe it was frustration, or maybe it was just his time, but the door came down and Wong Kar-wai entered the world of filmmaking in the late 1988, with a slap to the collective faces of every cinema lover in the world.
The widescreen format is matted what looks to be twice, so it could be moved up higher into the screen to make room for the subtitles.
I think being a fan of Hong Kong cinema is not as trendy as it used to be, so now is a good time for true fans of cinema in general to take a quick peek at some very well made films.

 Amazon.com: DVD: Ashes of Time (1994)
This film has the distinction of being a CHK favorite of several friends of mine.
Were it a campy martial arts flick, I wouldn't mind, but when combined with the dramatic intensity of other scenes, it just feels completely misaligned, like I'm watching two different genres of movies that were spliced together.
The first time I saw this movie, it was a dubbed video from a laserdisk a buddy picked up in the UK.

 Husband hopes ashes will link him, wife forever
I want to confront her and tell her to be nice to me all of the time or not at all, but my partner says it’s just a generational thing and that I should ignore it.
After that, if you notice further and repeated public slights from her, then I think it’s time for you and your partner to let her know how much it bothers you.

 TSPDT - Francis Ford Coppola
"Over the years Francis Coppola has teetered between success and disaster, often rising like a phoenix from the ashes every time his career seems doomed.
He remains one of America's most creative, if erratic, filmmakers, his place in motion picture history secured by The Godfather films." - (The MacMillan International Film Encyclopedia, 1994)
No one retains so many jubilant traits of the kid moviemaker, or has inspired darker comments." - David Thomson (The New Biographical Dictionary of Film, 2002)
