Today I saw Ashes of Time Redux, by Wong Kar Wai. The story concerns a mercenary and his unrequited love for his brother's wife.
This film was a cleaned up, recut, and remixed version of Wai's 1994 film. Having not seen the original, I can only say the following: the photography was beautiful, the score was stunning, and the story was needlessly complex. One of the highlights however, were the fight scenes. Choreographed by Sammo Hung, they had an almost abstract quality not usually seen in wuxia films.
