Indelible Images II -- Ashes of Time Redux

One of Wong Kar Wai's first films, "Ashes of Time Redux" is a reconstruction of his martial arts fable from 1994 (the film has appeared in multiple versions over the years; "Redux" features a reworking of the narrative arc, reprocessing of the cinematography and a new score, including cello solos by Yo Yo Ma.

It's easily the most impressive film visually that I've seen this year and deserves to be seen on a large screen. The cinematography of Christopher Doyle is stunning and beautifully complements the story.
