Directed by Wong Kar Wai • 2008 • Hong Kong, Taiwan
Starring Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Maggie Cheung Man Yuk
From director Wong Kar Wai comes the definitive version of ASHES OF TIME, an epic martial-arts fever dream of larger-than-life characters, breathtaking landscapes, and stunning 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 reflect on the mistakes of his own past and how his fear of rejection may have led him to a life of exile.
