Kar-Wai makes the most romantic love stories marked by the absence or frustration by one or both of the lovers, always with a great sense of longing that is shown with great images and very emotive soundtrack that make it a touching experience. The story is some sort a mythological narrative where the magical element doesn't make everything perfect, it just removes part of the cause of pain for those involved. Technically very bold and challenging.

Há 25 anos o corte original de Cinzas do Passado estreava no Festival de Veneza. Sem querer acabei fazendo um double feature do Tony Chiu-Wai Leung hoje, num ele era surdo-mudo, noutro ele era cego. A verdade é que quando era jovem eu apreciava a estética do Kar-Wai, mas hoje acho afetada demais, para não dizer enfadonha, o que não quer dizer que o filme seja ruim, só me dá uma preguiça imensa. Plus: Como Tony Ka Fai Leung é gato, por zeus. Versão Redux DVD Imagem Filmes.

A lot more coherent than I expected - which is to say I went into this expecting impenetrable vague wuxia events and got a five-act story almost too packed with circular plot references. Fight scenes looked pretty bad but the cinematography of the rest of the film made up for it (I wonder if the 1994 original had better image quality or my copy of this was just bad).

Some great camera work, some great colors, some cool fight scenes and some good acting. Also somewhat messy and not always completely comprehensible.

The cinematography and music were great, just a little lost on who was who (name wise) and wasn't able to follow the story completely because of that. Feels like one of those rewatch films to get a better feel of it.

"Şiir gibi, rüya gibi, tablo gibi film" diyorum kendimi tutamayıp en klişesinden. Hüznün masallara işlemiş, efsanelere karışmış hali gibi bir film.. Çok etkilendim. Ayrıca bir Medea (L. V. Trier's) tadı aldım filmden; gerçeklik algısı kaybedilerek izlenen filmler olmasından, tutkulu anlatımlarından, flu görüntülerinden falan belki, bilmem. Kar Wai çok nitelikli üreten, çok özgün bir yönetmen.

Another brilliant film from Kair Wai Wong that takes an abstract look into the mindset of a contract killer. Doomed with beauty, there was actually times when I got so caught up in the imagery that I had to rewind so I was able to read the subtitles.. Watching this reminded me of the feeling that one gets during an odd dream which you didn't quite understand until you've woken up. There were some faults with the pacing, and the beginning was quite drab, but the last 30 minutes is pure genius.

A bit of a mixed bag, but overall an enjoyable experience. The plot is somewhat messy, the script wavers between insightful elegance to silly cliche, and the performances range from very average to outstanding. It's much the same with the photography and cinematography; with some wonderful scenic shots, often followed by some really quite drab uninspired camerawork. Overall though the postives outweight any negatives, and the charm of Wongs direction and the characters wins through.

Wong Kar-Wai takes a stab at the wuxia genre, with typically Wong-ish results. Stunningly gorgeous photography (and actors), lots of slo-mo and atmospheric ambience, and plenty of introspective voiceover. The brief fight scenes are the weakest part: messy and confusing. The plot is a bit confusing as well but I never felt too lost. Like a lot of Wong, it has a weightiness it doesn't merit, but is effective at establishing mood and tantalizing the senses. Vaguely unsatisfying, yet entrancing.

Between the somewhat indecipherable plot, the lack of emotional hook, and the oppressively serious mood, I didn't find much to keep my interest here. Wong's effervescent style is in full effect, but to the end of a narrative and characters that left me cold. DIsappointing.

The languid, dreamlike atmosphere of the film compensates heavily for a plot which is fragmented, episodic and downright confusing. It has elements of a standard wuxia, but is elevated into something more by the meditations on love, loss, regret and long-forgotten ambition. The cinematography is stunning; the shifting sands and roiling clouds of the Chinese wilderness perfectly reflect the emotions being evoked by the main characters.

This is DP Christopher Doyle's best work. Easily. And the last act, featuring some of Leslie Cheung and Maggie Cheung's best acting, is absolutely worth it. So it is really too bad Kar-Wai has to conveniently forget 4 supporting characters and subplots to get to a story of any consequence.

I don't know if the fight scenes really work for me here. Not sure. But what I do know is that the movie is absolutely beautiful and it is an interesting take on wuxia. I, like others, found it extremely confusing and I don't know if that's due to the writing or just me being stupid. I also enjoy the score and at the end there was a scene that really involved me but most of the time I was unable to truly get into it.
