Computer Files, Websites
Based on Louis Cha's celebrated novel The Eagle-Shooting Heroes and directed by the legendary Wong Kar-Wai, Ashes of Time Redux is a remastered version of his earlier film, which was his first foray into the martial arts genre. Set in an unspecified period in history, we meet Ouyang, a daring swordsman who lives in the desert after being jilted by the woman he loves. He runs a business of sorts, hiring skilled martial arts fighters to carry out contract killings. Cynical and uncaring, Ouyang is nonetheless affected by his encounters with his clients, friends and potential foes, all of whom have various problems and issues of their own.--Kanopy.
