Ashes of Time Redux (Blu-ray) slipcase edition

ASHES OF TIME REDUX is the definitive, digitally remastered version of Wong Kar Wai's 1994 martial arts masterpiece ASHES OF TIME.

Diverging from traditional action cinema, this film is a poetic, non-linear exploration of memory, heartbreak, and the passage of time, set against the breath taking, desolate landscapes of the Gobi Desert.

The narrative centres on Ouyang Feng (the late, legendary Leslie Cheung), a cynical middleman for contract killers. After being rejected by the woman he loved, Ouyang lives in exile, connecting skilled swordsmen with those seeking vengeance. As the seasons change, Ouyang’s life interweaves with a revolving door of tragic figures—including a blind swordsman (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and a warrior with a split identity (Brigitte Lin, THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR), each reflecting a facet of his own past mistakes.

Featuring a star-studded cast including Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung Ka-fai, and stunning cinematography by Christopher Doyle, ASHES OF TIME REDUX is an essential watch for fans of avant-garde cinema. It is a haunting meditation on the "wine that erases memories" and the scars we carry.
