Leslie Cheung in Ashes of Time (1994)

FAQ

Ashes of Time

FAQ



    Director Wong Kar-Wai revisited his Ashes of Time nearly 15 years after its premiere in order to create the definitive version. The majority of changes consist of some alternative footage, little changes in the order of scenes and differing image details. Most noticably: the two main character's introduction in the beginning are missing. The season's fade-ins introducing each chapter are new. Originally, Wong Kar-Wai assumed that the hints in the movie were enough for understanding.
