Trailer Park: Ashes Of Time Redux
Wong Kar Wai's overblown and underdeveloped wuxia epic Ashes Of Time is getting a redux, promising to deliver the potential the original film had to offer. That seems to involve cutting some out and adding a little digital gloss to the production quality.
Unfortunately, Christopher Doyle's cinematography proved a little unsuitable for the grand scale of this story - a mistake he later rectified with his magnificent work on Hero - and the pop video colour grade they seem to have applied looks like it just makes things worse.
Watch the trailer at Apple.
