Viewing Notes
If I could find the blu-ray at a reasonable price for Wong Kar Wai’s Ashes Of Time Redux (1994), I’d buy it. Hell, I might just bite it and buy the $30 import. I watched original version some years ago during movie night @ Ron’s and have been looking forward to seeing the Redux, in which additional scenes have been added, a new score as been added and the entire film has been remastered. Looks much, much better than the crappy version we originally viewed. Such a somber yet gorgeous film.
Watched the interview features that shed more light on this restoration. A must-see for Wong Kar Wai fans and fans of this kind of cinema (check a real review for more insight on the beauty of this film; I’m not qualified for such a thing).
