Another visually stunning, emotionally arid, impossible to follow and
highly pretentious film from Wong Kar Wai, "Ashes of Time Redux"is a lot like Grand Opera stripped to its most basic level; imagine the sets being taken down and even the music held in abeyance with the characters left alone on the stage where even the action scenes seem devoid of 'action'. Yep folks, this is the kind of art-movie for which art-houses were built and many people take this kind of thing very seriously indeed. Others may look at Christopher Doyle's gorgeous cinematography and see a painted canvas and then feel they are watching it dry.
